The left axis depicts the number of papers published in years X-1 and X-2, and the right axis displays their citations in year X. For These challenges are especially problematic for continents such as Africa, where the food security is already a challenge, with population increase predicted to reach a level above which the natural resources for food production (including fisheries) will not be sufficient to solve the growing demand. 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 fruit and vegetable industry remains one of Ghana's most promising agricultural sectors mainly because of heightened awareness of the health benefits associated with their consumption. Branyikova and Lucakova (2020) explained why microalgae can be regarded as microplants, able to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds via photosynthesis.

When per capita arable land resources are sufficient, farmers lack the motivation to increase land unit output and establish an effective circular agricultural development system. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2004.11.016, Zhao S, Song K, Gui F, Cai H, Jin W, Wu C (2013) The emergy ecological footprint for small fish farm in China. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13165-020-00323-1, Chander M, Kannadhasan MS (2020) Landless animal and poultry production prospects: an overview on feeding and sustainability with special reference to fruit and vegetable wastes (FVWs). Innovative food and feed sources can come from reactors. However, when agricultural production operators constructed particular systems, they often lacked accurate data support and parameter matching.

If the biomass is not edible for livestock (sewage, manure, sludge), it can be used in biogas reactors to produce renewable energy, and liquid organic fertilizer. This article provides support to the government in policy-making related to the improvement of circular agricultural performance. Along with industry upgrading and urbanization, the agricultural industry in China has been experiencing a stage of rapid development, on the bright side. Org Agric 10(1):921.

The implementation of circular agriculture has higher requirements for related technologies and talents. J Chem Technol Biotechnol 88:16501653. Wang, Z.; Lv, J.; Xi, F. Circular Agricultural Engineering. It is not linear and has no waste. The resources saved as a result of the system's great recycling potential make it even more cost-effective. The circular economy can certainly be an emerging economic response that can effectively . Resilience of Agricultural Systems to Climate Stress - Usda Shea will highlight three examples of circular systems in Iowa, including one that demonstrates an on-farm scale of circularity, another operation that shows a watershed scale and a third farming operation that demonstrates circularity on a national scale. Second, it is a provider of quality food and ecosystem services, and a promoter of healthy behaviors and consumption of seasonal and local short-chain products by visitors, so it can be a vehicle for the adoption of the Mediterranean Diet as a sustainable lifestyle and food system.

The result shows that water resources per capita have a positive and significant impact on the development level of circular agriculture. Life Cycle Environmental Impact Assessment of Circular Agriculture: A Case Study in Fuqing, China. 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. The human impact on the biosphere has already exceeded its . The challenge is thus to produce enough food despite this limitation in a circular and sustainable fashion, without import of food/feed. No use, distribution or reproduction is permitted which does not comply with these terms. and Y.F.
