Resumo(s)
The thesis explores the integration of circular economy (CE) principles in agricultural water
management, identifying key opportunities and challenges. CE strategies, such as wastewater
reuse and nutrient recovery, provide economic opportunities by reducing costs and improving
resource efficiency, while creating revenue streams through biogas and biofertilizers.
Environmental opportunities include conserving freshwater resources, improving soil health,
reducing pollution, and supporting ecosystem restoration. Social opportunities, such as
equitable access to water and community development, highlight the potential of CE to
strengthen agricultural resilience. However, barriers such as technology costs, financial
constraints, regulatory challenges, and cultural resistance highlight the need for context specific solutions.
