Summary
This paper examines digitalisation as a potential driver for achieving circular economy principles in the agroindustry, as suggested by the 2023 publication. Using an integrated SWOT-ANP-ADAM analytical approach, the authors assess the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats associated with digital technologies in supporting resource cycling and waste reduction across agricultural production and food systems. The work appears to integrate stakeholder perspectives and prioritisation mechanisms to evaluate digital solutions for circular transitions.
UK applicability
The findings may have relevance to UK agri-food policy frameworks increasingly focused on circularity and net-zero transitions, particularly as digital infrastructure and farm management systems expand. However, applicability would depend on the specific agroindustrial contexts examined and the extent to which European regulatory or economic conditions align with UK post-Brexit agricultural systems.
Key measures
SWOT analysis framework; Analytic Network Process (ANP) weighting; ADAM (Actor-Driven Assessment Model) integration; qualitative assessment of digitalisation drivers and barriers to circularity
Outcomes reported
The study analysed how digitalisation can support circular economy principles across the agroindustry, using SWOT-ANP-ADAM methodology to assess strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. It evaluated digital tools and systems as enablers of resource cycling and waste reduction in agricultural and food production chains.
