circular-economy
The circular economy is a resource management model that emphasizes reusing, recycling, and regenerating materials to minimize waste and extend product lifecycles. In plant science, this framework is essential for developing sustainable agricultural and biotechnological systems that maximize plant biomass utility, reduce waste, and leverage plants as renewable resources for materials and energy. By applying circular economy principles, plant researchers can address climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource scarcity while supporting long-term food and material security.
