However, one or more party usually oppose the new policies, which is the major conundrum of Sustainable Diet within Global food system. This paper deals with Sustainable Diet Notions, tackling food waste and agro-waste, understanding different supply chains in the food system and how circular economy should be effectively implemented. Multiple innovative approaches are introduced from multidisciplinary and circular economy perspectives to: a. Reduce carbon footprints, b. Save resources and huge economic burden of waste control, c. Provide an idea for a new possible merging market based on eco-friendly technology, d. Significantly reduce food waste, e. Significantly reduce food insecurity, hunger and hidden hunger.
