摘要

The global demand for sustainable waste management solutions has driven significant interest in the bioprocessing of agri-food waste. Microbial bioprocessing offers a transformative approach to their valorisation, promoting a sustainable circular economy. This article explores the shifting paradigm in waste management strategies, emphasizing the potential of microbial bioprocessing to transform organic residues into valuable products. We discuss the challenges and limitations associated with microbial bioprocessing, including feedstock complexity, process optimization, microbial strain performance and regulatory considerations. Further, we highlight innovative solutions such as strain engineering, co-culture approaches, and biorefinery concepts that enhance process efficiency and product diversification. Through the integration of biorefinery concepts and circular economy models, microbial bioprocessing offers a promising pathway toward resource conservation, environmental sustainability, and economic prosperity.
