**9. Organic production, consumer eco-friendly packaging, and circular economy**

Undoubtedly, the packaging is essential to maintain the integrity of food, avoiding diseases and chemical contamination. Now, the food production system, whether organic management on farms or in the processing industry, needs to worry about going beyond maintaining food conservation. It is necessary to innovate, preventing these packages from becoming household waste with environmentally persistent materials, and in the long run, they will become part of the virtuous circle of the circular economy [55]. Among the potential solutions, the production of biodegradable polymers or bioplastics from agro-food or vegetable products will ensure that when discarded they return to the soil and, instead of polluting the land, they will function as nutrients. With regard to organic production, the use of packaging made of bioplastics would be ideal and perfect. It would ensure that the entire life cycle of the product would be in accordance with the circular economy, not generating pollutants, properly using natural resources, and prioritizing durable and renewable resources, as illustrated in **Figure 5**.
