"Throughout his life, Murray Bookchin presented a radical and humanist vision of ecology, showing that we could modify our institutions, our societies and our vision of what they could be to develop a more inclusive and free society. This collection of essays presents Murray Bookchin's Social Ecology and its importance in the 21st century. It gathers activists close to Murray Bookchin's ideas, and companions of struggle and dear friends who share his vision of an ecological society, based on communalism, direct democracy and the promises of the Enlightenment."--

This title provides the reader with an understanding of the concept of the circular economy, in relation to food supply chains. The current food supply chain system, based upon the linear supply chain model, is unquestionably unsustainable: make, use, dispose. The circular supply chain model, on the other hand, keeps resources in use for as long as possible, while regenerating products/materials at the end of their service life. In short: reduce, reuse, recycle. This book puts forwards the circular economy as an alternative. The circular economy minimises material, energy and environmental damage without restricting economic growth and social and technological progress. It involves transition to renewable energy sources, and builds on economic, natural and social capital. Will appeal to academics in supply chain logistics, operation management and agricultural management.

Sustainability: The Basics offers an accessible and interdisciplinary introduction to the concept, and discusses key questions such as : (-) What are the core principles of sustainability ? ; (-) What are the key ethical considerations for questions of sustainability ? ; (-) How do we measure sustainability ? ; (-) What are the critical obstacles to achieving global sustainability ? ; (-) What happens when societies fail to observe principles of sustainability ? ; (-) Fully updated in its second edition, Sustainability : The Basics now includes coverage of the Sustainable Development Goals, a global range of case studies and explores the complex social dynamics of Earth system changes that affect our critical life supports. The second edition also proposes a new, "sustainable humanism" that animates much of our work to make a better, more humane world. As the world reels from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, this book is an ideal starting point for anyone who wants to know more about what we need to do to sustain civilization, humanity, and the world we live in.
