“…For example, China and Peru have a typical top-down management model, where circular agriculture is government led. In Peru, circular agriculture in border areas is implemented through government legislation to achieve a synergistic transformation between agriculture and bioenergy [ 35 ]. In particular, biogas production is integrated into the circular agriculture system to achieve multiple benefits such as agricultural progress, poverty management and carbon emission reduction.…”

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.

Advancement of human civilization has resulted in depletion of resources and the deterioration of living conditions in certain regions of the world. Human activity on Earth has taken a hostile turn that threatens the existence of species and mankind. Circular agriculture focuses primarily on using minimal external input, closing nutrient cycles, regenerating soils, and minimizing environmental impact. Agriculture chains must be efficient in order to maximize the use of resources and return nutrients to the soil for a sustainable future. AI technology will lead to substantial changes in agricultural practices. The current discussion was explicitly related to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger, as well as other UNSDGs. To generate synergies and effectively manage trade-offs between agriculture, water, energy, land use, and climate change, the international community is urged to increase the number of integrated national and regional decision-making processes.
