With the agricultural sector pledging to improve its
sustainability, there is an urgent need to move away from linear
food production models which rely on significant raw material
inputs and generate large amounts of residual waste. Developing
circular agricultural production systems reviews the emergence of
circular agriculture as an approach to improving the sustainability
of the agricultural sector. The book addresses recent advances in
understanding and developing closed-loop systems to optimise crop
nutrient cycles and resource use, as well as ways agricultural
wastes can be recycled back into agricultural production or used as
feedstock to produce a range of bio-based materials. With its
comprehensive coverage, the book showcases how to develop circular
agricultural production systems, from using crop residues as
livestock feed and developing new bio-based fertilizers, to
producing biogas from livestock manure and manufacturing
bio-plastics from agricultural waste.
