“…The circular economy (CE) is centered on managing waste and the development of new resources that are substitutes for existing resources (Alvarez-Risco et al 2022). FLW is a critical issue in the CE and should be addressed at several stages throughout the value chain (European Commission 2017).…”

“…As a result, the circular economy makes use of operations like repair and renovation, reuse, and recycling. This reduces resource usage, and FLW generation and allows products to be used for longer periods, enhancing productivity (Alvarez-Risco et al 2022;Rosen 2022). Around the world, FLW poses significant challenges, such as managing waste, recycling, and achieving the CE's main objective (Giudice et al 2020;C.…”

For many years, population growth has stimulated rising demand for both agro-food products and economic activity which has had a bad influence on impact on the ecosystem and the co non-renewable consumption. Algeria confronts the monumental challenge of choosing how to effectively nourish everyone on a more congested globe. However, food loss is a significant issue that is getting worse as Algerian’s population continues to expand and food consumption is increasing. In Algeria, food production and processing of food items, which include fruits, vegetables, and cereals, generate a considerable amount of by-products, with no commercial exploitation and a negative environmental impact, generating enormous socio-economic problems. These byproducts are essential sources of products with high levels of added value that can be applied in different sectors. Our research objective is to quantify the loss in the Algerian food industry, generated by the transformation of various agricultural products, which directly affects the economy and food availability for the population. The research utilizes a mixed-methods approach, including coefficients, production statistics transformed, and data analysis, It is the first research to measure the scope of food waste. in the Algerian food industry. The findings reveal that a significant portion of fruits and vegetables are lost in the Algerian food industry, suggesting that minimizing food loss can help companies to minimize costs and mitigate the adverse environmental effects of food production. Finally, the study proposes practical options to minimize food loss to create a long-term food system in Algeria.
