Abstract
The ecological transition to enhance a sustainable and circular approach to resources is the current global challenge, as well as the complex decision-making process that the global community is called upon to manage. In this context, the agricultural and food production sector is trying to pass from a linear resource consumption to a circular management of resources, through the adoption of different circular technologies. Due to the high level of complexity, and multidimensional effects, this transition process is facing many challenges and issues. One of the main observed challenges concerns stakeholders’ involvement and the identification of the different values engaged within this transition process. This issue is mainly due to the different levels at which the decision problem of implementing the circular economy paradigm in agriculture should be addressed. According to this challenge, this research is interested in providing a methodological framework to apply the Social Multi-Criteria Analysis to address the implementation of circular technologies in agriculture within stakeholders’ perspectives, values, and probable coalition. The main objective is to provide a decision support system able to manage and represent the complexity of the transition to the circular economy paradigm of agriculture. The challenge of the research is using evaluation as a communication, engagement and enabling tool to address innovation according to multidimensional values.
