Circular bioeconomy accounting tool (CBEAT): a holistic framework for agriculture and agri-food system circularity practice
https://orcid.org/http://orcid.org/0000-0001-8858-5055
The advancement of the circular bioeconomy in the agri-food system highlights the lack of harmony in relevant conceptual components and frailties in existing solution creation and performance analysis. Thus, the goal of this study is to provide a robust framework that not only promotes circularity designs but also consolidates the varied yet complementary components of the concept in driving a consistent, inclusive, and accountable practice. To achieve this goal, a traditional scientific and gray literature analysis was conducted to establish the relevant components of circular bioeconomy practices, specifically those relevant to solution design and performance monitoring, and the status of their exploration. The identified gaps and recommendations, primarily the missing harmony between stakeholder participation, sustainability assessment, and decision analysis in solution design, were explored in an integrative manner to develop a novel and robust framework termed the circular bioeconomy accounting tool. Following recommendations on circular bioeconomy indicator development, this study also developed a circular bioefficiency index as a performance indicator that allows practitioners to compare circularity solutions through the lens of their capacity to maximize value and minimize environmental impact using weighted efficiency ratios. With the circular bioeconomy gaining exponential traction in the agri-food system and the concept regarded as not always inherently beneficial, this framework is considered timely and relevant for guiding comprehensive and accountable practice and delivering solutions that do not compromise sensitive economic, environmental, and social boundaries.
