A chapter in Circular Economy and Green Transition in the Global South, 2025, pp 117-141 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Circular practices could potentially be a solution for various environmental, economic, and social problems. As the population and global food demand continue to rise, there has never been a greater need for sustainable agricultural practices. At the regional level, the issue of food security continues to worsen in developing countries in the global south. Adopting the principles of the circular economy provides a promising approach to addressing the agricultural sector’s challenges. The current study aims to review the literature pertaining to circular practices in the agricultural sector in the global south with the help of bibliometric analysis. Additionally, the study intends to explore how circular practices can be applied across the agricultural sector to design sustainable farming practices that reduce the negative effects on the environment and make optimal use of resources. It is found that sustainable circular practices have mainly been studied for the global north; studies on the global south are scarce. Technological and scientific developments will play a crucial role in advancing sustainability in the agricultural sector. Incorporating principles of the circular economy into agriculture practices provides an integrated approach for addressing the issue of feeding a rapidly expanding global population while preserving the natural resources of our planet.
