Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEnsuring food safety in a circular economy: Four key areas 2024
Also available in:
No results found.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. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetWater recycling and reuse: circular water economy and food safety considerations 2024
Also available in:
No results found.A circular water economy involves using limited water resources more efficiently. Water recycling and reuse offer many opportunities for agrifood systems and will likely become more important as water stress increases globally. However, potential food safety risks need to be taken into consideration when designing and implementing circular processes for water.This brief provides an overview of the food safety considerations in water recycling and reuse in the transformation to a circular agrifood system. It is one of five briefs accompanying the FAO publication, Food Safety in a Circular Economy.
