Levers for change

A circular food economy relies on engagement from the government, businesses, and individuals. Each of these stakeholders is valued by Food Loop as a lever for change.

The government has a vital role in the transition to a circular economy. They have the power to lead and call on collaboration with other key stakeholders in both the public and private sectors. The transition to a more circular food system requires crossdisciplinary collaboration that can be facilitated by the government towards a more resilient, resourceful future (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2019, p.4).

Supporting Food Loop would indicate that the government prioritises environmental, futurefocused development, which will appeal to individuals particularly with the increasing concern about the climate crisis (Arreza, 2020).
