PECULIARITIES OF IMPLEMENTATION OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY PRINCIPLES IN AGRICULTURE: THEORETICAL APPROACH

Abstract

The analysis and synthesis of Lithuanian and foreign authors' scientific literature sources were selected for the research, as well as the methods of comparison, induction, deduction and graphical representation. The study found that the circular economy is a more advanced version of the linear model, designed to minimize raw material consumption and maximize product and component reuse in a high ridge. The most important principles of the circular economy follow the 3R principle - reduce, reuse and recycle. The circular economy is very important in agriculture, as it is easier to adapt to agriculture due to its use for other activities, fertilizers or waste for renewable energy production. It is stated that the most used areas in agriculture are biomass, biofuel production; reuse of waste, recycling, further activities, fertilizers; water reuse; organic farming using mixed organic fertilizers from agriculture; agroforestry. The development potential of the circular economy in agriculture has great potential for waste, as the farm generates significant flows that can be used for further activities, but the development of these principles is hampered by barriers related to lack of funding for innovation, new technology needs and knowledge of circular economy management. lack. These reasons pose problems for the successful development of the circular concept in agriculture. In order to promote the development of a circular economy, the formation of consumer attitudes, cooperation between businesses and financial incentives for innovation are important.
