I think that most of the food products that I eat are probably not really part of a circular economy, seeing as our current model of agriculture involves mass production of isolated types of crops, which end up taking more nutrients from the environment than we are able to give back. I don’t know much about this, but I’ve heard that things like food forests, and farming with a healthy variety of crops, could help to close in this gap of nutrient expenditure. Also, farming locally and in line with the seasonal cycles of when certain crops are meant to grow might help (crop rotation?).  I’ve also heard that mixing livestock with crops could help- because the livestock’s feed source would be right there, and it is less energy intensive to feed the livestock, and they can also help fertilize the soil. In any case, desire for profits and convenience is getting in the way of us enacting these things on a societal level at the moment, and we are degrading the environment with unsustainable agriculture- not in line with the circular economy 🙁 I think that things like capitalism’s inherent need for increased profits and production is definitely getting in the way of enacting a CE, as well as people’s desire for products and consumption (which is a result of capitalism- we are being subtly manipulated into believing this, but I do think that a lot of people still do). In order to be content with keeping the same amount of resources and products in circulation, our economic system would have to change. Maybe people’s desire for products and consumerist tendencies would die out naturally as a result of that.
