| description | This study investigates the application of agricultural circular economy models in emerging bioecosystems to identify opportunities and address challenges in their implementation. With a focus on sustainability and resource efficiency, agricultural circular economy models have gained great attention in diverse bioecosystems, offering innovative approaches to address pressing environmental and economic concerns. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature, case studies, and expert insights, this work provides valuable insights into the conceptual framework, implementation strategies, and potential impacts of agricultural circular economy models in emerging bioecosystems. Key findings highlight the diverse range of circular practices, such as waste valorization, resource recycling, closed-loop systems, and multifaceted challenges related to policy frameworks, technological adoption, and stakeholder engagement. The cycle of extraction, utilization, and disposal has ingrained regressive practices in the mindset of manufacturers, suppliers, farmers, shippers, and consumers. Thus, it is evident that the circular economy model hinges on a comprehensive strategy involving all business participants, ensuring inclusivity. This study also reveals the necessity of reinforcing policies and regulations across supply chain tiers to counteract the persistent environmental turmoil caused by climate change. By examining the interplay between agricultural circular economy models and emerging bioecosystems, this study contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable agriculture, resource management, and rural development, paving the way for informed decision-making and transformative change in agricultural systems worldwide. |
