Alongside production and consumption, bio-waste management is central to the food systems debate. To achieve sustainable food systems—an essential component of the Sustainable Development Goals and the world they envision—public authorities must address the shortage of current bio-waste-management policies and strive towards a new paradigm of bio-waste management, where environmental justice primarily informs policy design and decision making. In order to achieve fair environmental policies, particularly in the context of food systems and bio-waste management, it is essential to understand what drives public policy in these matters. In the present review, we seek to contribute by closing a gap in the literature by proposing a set of bio-waste-management drivers in the European context. Moreover, we focus on the “policy and legislation” driver, hoping to examine its main components and understand both their limitations and the opportunities they provide. Finally, we explore the role that co-creation can play as a facilitator of a public-governance paradigm that promotes sustainable development.

O presente artigo pretende analisar o desenvolvimento e a aplicabilidade da Sustentabilidade no contexto das redes de colaboração local, considerando como objeto de estudo a Comunidade Intermunicipal Viseu Dão Lafões (CIM Dão Lafões). Foi aplicado um questionário a trabalhadores dos municípios que compõem a CIM Dão Lafões visando aferir a sua perceção quanto ao impacto e importância da Sustentabilidade em termos de política pública local, tendo-se recorrido ao Modelo de Equações Estruturais para a análise dos resultados aí obtidos. Foram ainda desenvolvidas entrevistas a trabalhadores destes municípios. Concluiu-se que existe ainda um longo caminho a percorrer no que respeita à sensibilização dos trabalhadores para a importância da implementação de práticas potenciadoras da sustentabilidade ao nível local.
