The results showed that Agritourism by its very nature carries the green transition, partly due to the enormous financial support of the new CAP. The core concept is that the available space for food production is extremely limited (e.g., for Africa in the year 2100, only about 450 m2 cropland per person, if the population increases to 5.8 billion). It also requires a large amount of capital investment in the early stage of development. PubMedGoogle Scholar. They suggested that future efforts should include more cooperation and less competition between scientists and disciplines, as well as more down to earth research with convincing, effective, and practical solutions under difficult conditions.

At the 5% level of significance, each increase in the proportion of the urban population in the total population by one unit will reduce the development level of circular agriculture by 1.0614 units. Edited by United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division. Developing modern circular agriculture is one of the important ways to promote agricultural sustainable development, facilitating the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations. However, food safety is of ultimate concern due to the association of foodborne hazards resulting in escalation of foodborne illness. The resources saved as a result of the system's great recycling potential make it even more cost-effective. This study develops an evaluation indicator system for circular agriculture using an entropy method, and evaluates factors that could drive the Chinese agricultural industry to achieve better performance. The starting point to design joint technology concepts is to overcome ideological barriers and disciplinary boundaries. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the If practiced on a wide scale, circular agriculture can optimize resource requirements and the ecological footprint of agriculture. Two types of surveys were conducted: a Census of the Sicilian Agritourisms active at an on-line travel agency and a sampling survey of the Agritourisms visitors. Org Agric. They are complex with capacities to produce multiple benefits ranging from safe and nutritious food supplies, renewable fuels and energy, high quality water, retention and storage of soil carbon, enhancement of wildlife and biodiversity, and profitable livelihoods.

Citing findings by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE), the report says agriculture and our food system can no longer be thought of as a linear journey through pre-production, production, post- harvest, and consumption that adds land, water, energy, nutrients, labor, and capital as inputs, all the while abandoning the waste lost from the process as discards. On the other hand, the structure of food production today is not sustainable enough and requires rethinking. Out of the three human basic needs (food, clothing, and shelter), two are related to agriculture. and Y.F. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13165-020-00292-5, DeLong C, Cruse R, Wiener J (2015) The soil degradation paradox: compromising our resources when we need them the most.

They show that it is feasible, even on small-scale farms in remote rural areas, to set up systems in which organic waste is transformed to biogas utilized for light and cooking, and slurry, a nutritious organic fertilizer and source of organic matter. Les (2020) from Norway showed, that animal bones, and precipitated struvite from waste-water, are examples of materials which may be applicable in bioreactors and Kuenz et al.

SfL urges leaders in the sector and policy makers to explore the circular approach to agriculture. Reliable, Resilient And Sustainable Water Management: The Safe & Sure Approach. This article uses the variable of per capita GDP as the indicator of the economic development level. The challenge is thus to produce enough food despite this limitation in a circular and sustainable fashion, without import of food/feed. Figure 1. Waste Water Treatment With Adsorptions By Mushroom Compost The Circular Economic Valuation Concept For Material Cycles. The transition from a linear to a circular economy is a research trend topic, as well as the possibility to measure the degree of circularity of products and systems. Increased reliance on imports are not a stable solution because it is unclear whether these nations will have the financial capabilities and infrastructural capacities in rural areas for this option. most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal. There is, however, no shortage of innovative ideas for the future of food productionbe it vertical farming, agroforestry, aquaculture, or synthetic food (Rahmann et al.

Most of the disruptive and innovative food research is done in developed countries, who do not face the extreme challenges of Africa and parts of Asia, and many solutions are not designed and/or tested under conditions with socio-economic and agro-ecological deficits.

Based on provincial data from 2000 to 2018 in Henan, this article empirically measures the comprehensive performance values of circular agriculture each year in Henan, and further analyzes the main factors that affect the level of circular agriculture performance in Henan. After checking the stationarity of each variable, it is necessary to check the stationarity of the residual after regression to ensure the existence of the co-integration relationship. Circular economy practices can offer opportunities for reducing GHG emissions in the agricultural sector through the circulation of raw materials, agricultural waste, and manure [ 18 ]. This article uses Henan provincial data to measure the development performance of Chinas circular agriculture. Ghisellini, P.; Cialani, C.; Ulgiati, S.

Optimizations are possible using traditional food production methods (farming/fishery-based; green chains in the model), but this will not produce sufficient food for the growing population.
