| Sumario: | The objective of this article is to identify scholarly articles on the transition to the circular economy (CE) in the food sector, analyzing the main drivers, barriers, and practices in this process. For that, a systematic literature review was conducted using the Scopus database. Through a bibliometric, keyword network, and content analyses, it was possible to obtain a general overview on this theme, which presents an increasing interest, with a leading figure of European countries and Brazil. Energy efficiency, new market opportunities, collaboration with stakeholders, eco-efficiency, and costs reduction were identified as the main drivers. Among the main barriers, five were identified: technological, financial, operational, consumers’ acceptation and legislation. The reduction of raw material consumption and the use of byproducts were the practices most addressed by the articles, indicating that the food sector still holds the potential to implement other strategies towards CE, as a result of the efficient manufacturing and the smarter use of the products. |
