Industrial Symbiosis in Food Systems: Advancing Sustainability through Resource Integration
This article explores the application of industrial symbiosis within food systems, focusing on how the reuse and exchange of organic by-products, energy, and water can enhance sustainability. It examines strategies for transforming food waste into valuable resources, such as bioenergy, animal feed, or secondary raw materials. The study highlights the environmental and economic benefits of integrating food production and processing systems, while also addressing challenges related to logistics, technology, and regulatory frameworks. The findings emphasize the potential of industrial symbiosis to support circular food systems and reduce the overall environmental footprint of the agri-food sector.
