Abstract

This scientific article explores the implementation of circular economy (CE) methods in the global food industry, highlighting how CE strategies such as waste valorization, sustainable resource use, and regenerative practices are reshaping the sector. It includes an in-depth analysis of Uzbekistan’s Circular Economy Action Plan in agriculture as a case study. The study draws on a variety of academic and institutional sources, demonstrating how CE contributes to food system resilience, sustainable development goals (SDGs), and climate action. Emphasis is placed on practical innovations, policy frameworks, and the systemic transformation needed to shift from linear to circular food models.
