The economics of circular bioeconomy supply chains: Theory and case studies
提出了一个概念模型,刻画农户采用农业废弃物(如动物粪便和玉米秸秆)循环利用的决策,强调产出与废弃物的互补性,并通过生物炭和黑水虻两个案例说明经济力量如何起作用。
Abstract Circular bioeconomy employs advanced life science technologies to utilize renewable natural resources to produce goods and is a key part of the sustainable development strategy. Most circular-bioeconomy supply chains, however, are still in their infancy. We propose a conceptual model that characterizes the farm decision to adopt the circular use of agricultural residues such as animal waste and corn stover. The model highlights the complementarity between farm outputs and the residue and pins down key determinants of adoption. We illustrate how the economic forces work by examining two budding circular-bioeconomy supply chains—biochar and black soldier fly.
