Abstract

Circular economy is changing the way businesses operate and is pushing companies and organizations from a linear to a closed-loop business approach. Circular business models serve as tools to help managers in this transition. The agribusiness sector has a significant environmental impact but a considerable potential for the implementation of circular practices. However, circular business models have been little discussed in the sector, limiting their application. Thus, this chapter aims to deepen the concept of circular business models in agribusiness to raise awareness and facilitate their adoption. A systematic literature review was conducted, following the PRISMA protocol and using the Bibliometrix software and the app Biblioshiny. As a result, 60 documents were included in the review and bibliometric and content analysed. The interest in the topic is growing, especially in Europe and nations with high agricultural industrialization. The themes emerged and discussed in literature include the challenges, key aspects, and recommendations for circular business models’ adoption, the concerns with their sustainability, and their performance measurement. Limitations to current knowledge and future research directions are identified. This chapter provides a valuable contribution to the understanding of circular business models in agribusiness and highlights important aspects useful for entrepreneurs and policymakers.
