| dc.description | Introducing circular processes and policies is one route to agrifood systems transformation, a key accelerator to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. A circular economy represents a major departure from the current linear production system and from many assumptions underlying existing food safety approaches. While circular solutions offer promising sustainability benefits, they also introduce certain food safety concerns, such as the risk of contaminants, antimicrobial resistance and physical hazards. This brief provides an overview of the food safety considerations across four key areas in the transformation to a circular agrifood system – water scarcity, food loss and waste, food packaging waste, and land use efficiency. It is one of five briefs accompanying the FAO publication, Food Safety in a Circular Economy. | |
