“…Other actions aimed at implementing CE in the management of water resources could include managing the demand for irrigation water and matching crop type to local water availability to improve irrigation efficiency. In addition, there are "closing loop" practices, focused on the reuse of wastewater in industrial cycles and crop irrigation, as it is economically advantageous to reuse water in agriculture and the industrial cycle of sugarcane washing [42]. For Brazil, the institutional infrastructure is maturing to support CE adoption in various sectors, including in the water sector.…”

“…While some regions in the country have decided to manage water at the subnational level, strengthening the decentralization process, for example in Baja California, Nuevo León, Tabasco, Oaxaca and Querétaro, San Luis Potosí [51] it can be interpreted that CE strategies have to be planned and adopted at that scale. The state government receives economic incentives for the operation of wastewater treatment plants, and they are trying to convince some farmers to use treated wastewater [42]. From the private sector perspective, companies in Mexico seek the benefits of integrating circularity frameworks water into their operations processes.…”

Circular Economy (CE) is noted as an emerging tool or framework to support sustainable production and consumption agenda. In addition, CE is aiming to be a trigger for redefining economic growth pathways to be sustainable, inclusive, and sensitive to ecological and environmental agendas and to focus its operational standards on co-creating societal benefits. Concerning the guiding principles and the standards of practice applied to implement and scale circular economy, this study will provide an overview of the water sector-specific circularity roadmaps and strategies in the Latin American Region. By using a semi-systematic review, document analysis, and qualitative assessment approach, we highlight framings and operational pathways, gaps, and needs within existing practices of circularity in the water sector. The results provide an overview of CE pathways at the national level of selected countries in LAR iterating those nations reflect various levels of advancement (low to high) with CE-focused innovations and policy support structures specific to the water and wastewater sectors. Towards the closing, the study is pointing to the ‘call for action’ to integrate outstanding advances and innovations in the circular economy within sectoral mandates for water and wastewater management, making an argument that circularity in the water sector could serve as an accelerator toward implementing the agenda outlined in Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and in particular for SDG 6 (water security for all).

“…Although Germany is a country “rich in water resources”, due to geographical climate change, water pollution and other reasons, there is indeed a shortage of water resources in some regions [ 60 ]. Therefore, agricultural wastewater reuse is receiving increasing attention as a strategy to support the transition to a circular economy for water and agriculture.…”

Under the dual pressure of ensuring global food security and coping with the effects of climate change, many countries have proposed projects of circular agriculture to mitigate the vulnerability of agricultural systems. However, due to the different utilizations of agricultural resources in different countries, there are still some important limitations and obstacles to the promotion of agricultural recycling technologies. This review discusses global circular agriculture projects from a social science perspective. We found that (1) current research on circular agriculture is concentrated in the field of natural sciences with a focus on technological upgrading, neglecting social, political and economic research; (2) top-down circular agriculture projects rely on infrastructure and technical inputs for management, which undermines the focus on public participation and is limited by the timing and intensity of state intervention; (3) the development model led by enterprises or associations relies on cooperation and benefit games with farmers, and its sustainability depends largely on changes in the regulation of the agricultural waste utilization system. Based on this, this review argues that circular agriculture projects are not only technical issues in the field of natural sciences, but also strongly influenced by social development. For future research, we strongly recommend cross-disciplinary cooperation, not limited to technology development.

“…The significant water demands of agricultural activities underscore the pivotal role that water resources play in determining the extent of sustainable agricultural development (Winter et al, 2017). Simultaneously, agricultural production and operations exert varying degrees of impact on the environment, climate, and related domains (Maurício et al, 2022).…”

The infusion of digital technologies imparts impetus to the development of agricultural circular economy. Study focuses on the nexus of digital rural development, agricultural circular economy growth, employing entropy, Critic, and TOPSIS models to calculate the evolution of agricultural circular economy from 2011 to 2021. Furthermore, the temporal and spatial dynamics of agricultural circular economy development are explored. In addition, spatial Durbin models and threshold models are utilized to explore the spatial spillover effects of digital rural development on agricultural circular economy, and the threshold characteristics of agricultural circular economy with varying levels of digital rural development. The research findings reveal that arable land area, forest coverage, and mechanization play pivotal roles in shaping the trajectory of rural circular economy development. The synthetical index of rural circular economy development shows a consistent yearly increment, yet pronounced regional disparities exist, reflecting an olive-shaped distribution with dual cores in Heilongjiang and Chongqing and a more prominent central. The implementation of digital rural not only elevates the local agricultural circular economy, but also demonstrates conspicuous spatial spillover effects on neighboring regions. The relationship between digital rural development and agricultural circular economy growth is characterized by a singular threshold effect. Pre- and post-threshold, the promotive impact of digital rural development rises from 0.048 to 0.058. Building upon these findings, policy recommendations are formulated to guide future endeavors in this domain.
