The current food supply chain system, based upon the linear supply chain model, is unquestionably unsustainable: make, use, dispose. The circular supply chain model, on the other hand, aims to keep resources in use for as long as possible, while regenerating products\/materials at the end of their service life. In short: reduce, reuse, recycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book puts forwards the circular economy as an alternative to the traditional supply chain management models. The circular economy aims to minimise material, energy and environmental damage without restricting economic growth and social and technological progress. It involves transition to renewable energy sources, and it builds on economic, natural and social capital. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis shortform monograph will appeal to academics working in the fields of supply chain logistics, operation management, agricultural management, and sustainability more broadly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Stella Despoudi\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer in Operations and Supply Chain Management at Aston University, UK and Adjunct Lecturer in Supply Chain Management at University of Western Macedonia, Greece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProf. Uthayasankar Sivarajah\u003c\/b\u003e is Head of School of Management and Professor of Technology Management and Circular Economy at the School of Management, University of Bradford, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Manoj Dora\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of Collaborative Projects and Outreach at Brunel Business School, UK.
