Infos

The book aims to facilitate the development of circular bioeconomy education, research, policy, and engineering practices in global communities to benefit undergraduate and graduate students and professionals. The book is expected to guide future farming activities, reshape urban-rural relationships, promote economic regeneration, and improve science-based regulations and policies to ensure socio-demographic justice and resilience in climate-vulnerable communities. The book will stimulate the investment in new natural resource-based industries and contribute to addressing the challenges of climate change, nutrition security, biodiversity conservation, and realization of the net zero emission goal.

This book is open access.

He's a fellow of multiple professional associations and has published in professional and popular outlets. He has over 400 referenced journal articles ranging from Science to ARE-Update and has edited 30 books. In addition, he has served as a Consultant to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, USDA, the World Bank, FAO, MARS, BP, WWF, Shell and others. David got a BA from Tel Aviv University and a Berkeley Ph.D. David co-founded the Beahrs Environmental Leadership Program, the International Consortium of Applied Bioeconomy Research and is the founder and academic director of the Berkeley MDP program. David's research analyzes water, innovation, supply chain, agriculture, energy, and the environment. He has researched the economics and political economy of COVID-19 and of agricultural biotechnology, and the potential of the bioeconomy. During the last two years he has studied the economics and supply chain design of Black Soldier Fly waste management systems.

Dr. Jie Zhuang is a professor in Department of Biosystems Engineering and Soil Science, director of environmental and soil science graduate studies, and the lead of university cluster hire initiative of resilient agriculture and forest systems at the University of Tennessee (UT) in Knoxville, Tennessee, USA. He is also an advisory council member of UT Institute of Agriculture and an affiliated faculty of UT Institute for a Secure and Sustainable Environment and the Institute of Energy and Environment. He has served on numerous award committees of scientific organizations and proposal review panels of national and international funding agencies. Dr. Zhuang's research topics range from fate and transport of contaminants (such as virus, bacterium, organic chemicals, metals, engineering colloids, and nutrients) to soil hydrological modeling, crop-water relations, carbon-water-nutrient interactions, food-energy-water nexus, and circular food systems. He links environmental soil science to food-energy-water nexus by innovating solutions for soil restoration and resilience, safe reclaimed water irrigation,
