Reviewer 3 Report
The manuscript by Fassio and Chirilli presents a systematic review that summarized the indicators, assessment tools, and monitoring tools in the circular economy for the food system. By analysis of the literature, the authors propose limitations and solutions which are valuable for future studies and applications. The manuscript is well written with clear logic and fluent language. I think this manuscript is useful for broad researchers in the field of food systems and circular economy.
I find some mistakes in reference citation: In Line 771 the citation of [67] seems to be wrong and it should probably be [79]. Please carefully check each citation in the manuscript and make sure all citations are correct. The reference list also has some incomplete information, for example, references 10, 13, 14, etc. lack the page numbers/article numbers.
