Circular aquaculture: Unpacking views from farm to fork

This study investigates perceptions of the most urgent circular strategies for advancing the sustainability of Italian aquaculture through the first multi‑stakeholder analysis from “Farm to Fork”. Using a multicriteria approach, it integrates viewpoints from researchers, producers, policymakers, and citizens to develop a shared but differentiated prioritisation of circular strategies. The results highlight both convergence and divergence in how circularity is understood and applied, underscoring the need for inclusive governance and a strong knowledge and innovation system to translate circular economy principles into context‑specific, socially accepted actions.
