Summary/Abstract: Agriculture and food production have always been a connecting link between countries worldwide. The Netherlands and Romania have a longstanding and strong relationship working together in the field of agriculture and food. Both countries support the development of a worldwide transition to a sustainable and honest food production system. Moreover, the Netherlands and Romania respect the sustainable use of natural resources, safeguarding nature and biodiversity, and ensuring food security — as recorded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The upcoming Common Agricultural Policy requires a transition by innovation to a new and sustainable agri-food production system, which is both sustainable and more efficient while protecting the traditions of rural areas at the same time. The Netherlands and Romania aim to work strongly together as partners to make this happen. The scope of book is to present best practices from the Netherlands and Romania regarding circular economy projects and activities from the agri-food industry. These projects refer to actions focused on: closing the circle from waste to resources; climate change and ecosystem conservation; increasing the appeal and vitality of rural areas; projects that enhance the regional economy.
