CIRCULAR ECONOMY: USING FOOD WASTE AS A RESOURCE THROUGH REFEED’S CIRCULAR NUTRITION
Although world hunger is on the rise, food production is still going strong- ignoring a variety of environmental effects such as rising CO2 emissions, pollution and loss of productivity, energy, and natural resources. Current waste management methods, which are built on a linear consumption model, are obviously unfit to satisfy the longer-term needs of current populations. Therefore, the need for a shift to a circular design for handling food waste that will include more regenerative practices and will restructure the food economy is apparent.
