“…Amsterdam (n = 16 of 178) and Beijing (n = 9 of 178) were the most frequently reported cities. In the evidence atlas, 15 articles did not report a city, one article covers 40 cities in the People's Republic of China [63], one paper assesses employment opportunities for 43 cities in the EU [64], and one article details CE in 89 cities across the world [29]. The median and the mean number of cities covered in an article are 1 and 2.87, respectively.…”

Worldwide, cities are implementing circular economy (CE) strategies to reduce the resources they consume and their environmental impact. To understand the CE strategies and sectors cities have been focusing on, we have conducted an evidence map describing the literature published in the last ten years. The main outputs are a searchable database comprising 178 publications showing which cities have been discussed, what CE strategy they are focusing on, and the sectors under review. The results show that most research has focused on European countries. Those efforts mainly concentrate on waste and wastewater management, and recycling and recovery strategies are considered the “lower-level” strategies in the CE taxonomy. It highlights the potential for further research in other cities and regions, looking across sectors and analyzing strategies that tackle the “higher-level” CE strategies. Higher-level strategies include reducing, repurposing, remanufacturing and reusing opportunities to achieve the potential attributed to a CE model by governments across the world.

“…The bioeconomy approach could have a significant impact not only on sustaining the resource demands of a post-COVID world but also on the long-term challenges of climate change, population growth, environmental degradation, and food security [5]. The implementation of the concept can also be seen as a perspective to promote a business model that could generate new employment opportunities [60].…”

One of the biggest challenges in managing the food sector during a pandemic crisis is sustaining a robust food security system and adopting the right strategies in correlating the consumers’ needs and requirements with those of food safety, the producers, the distribution chain, the economic environment, and waste management. The restrictions on people’s global movement, commodities, and services and the measures taken to reduce the spread of COVID-19 have disrupted food environments around the world and forced us to collectively redesign and optimize our systems using existing resources from a more sustainable perspective. This paper offers an overview of the implications of COVID-19 for the food supply chain and discusses several potential strategies for tackling short- and long-term adverse effects resulting from the pandemic.
