Transformation of the existing economy model to Circular Economy models cannot take place without changes and innovations in food chain. The paper aims to investigate process of realization of the Circular Economy paradigm in food chain in the EU, in some member states focusing on Poland. The traditional operations cycle at 5-stage approach was carried out: programming where priorities are defined; identification where intervention options are considered; formulation where actions are developed in details; implementation where actions are carried out and monitored; evaluation of assessed achievements. The authors prove strategic actions undertaken at the UE level are followed by national policy steps as well as activities run at the level of companies and customers.

Keywords:Circular Economy, agro-food chains, food loss and waste, national and international policies, 5-stage-approach, Poland
