Assessing food system circularity at different scales

<p dir="ltr">The aim of our project is to develop and test a food system framework that can be applied to assess circularity of use of nutrients, biomass, water, energy and land.</p><p dir="ltr">The assessment framework then has a second tier, shown in the four coloured boxes, that aims to capture if the proposed circular food system has trade offs, or is beneficial to, environmental and socio-economic outcomes, and how it caters to the needs of different cultures in associated communities and supply chains.</p><p dir="ltr">The focus of my talk is on the black box, circular resource use. But in the project, we will be testing the whole framework on 3 case studies.</p>
