Economía circular, cadena de suministro, agricultura sostenible, sistemas agroalimentarios, Valorización de residuosResumen
Este modelo crea una alternativa para mejorar el aprovechamiento de recursos y minimizar los daños en las cadenas de suministro agrícolas. El objetivo de este trabajo investigativo es identificar el impacto de la economía circular en la cadena de suministro en el área agrícola en base a la evidencia científica, a partir de una verificación sistemática de la literatura prosiguiendo las reglas PRISMA. La base de revisión fue Scopus, donde se identificaron 49 documentos para el análisis de contenido. Los estudios se examinaron según categorías de implementación (aprovechamiento y valorización de residuos, optimización y recuperación de recursos, producción sostenible y circular, y logística inversa y recuperación de materiales) y tipos de impacto ambiental, económico, operativo, tecnológico y social. Los resultados muestran diversas aplicaciones en economía circular, entre ellas transformación de desechos agroalimentarios en nuevos productos, la recuperación de recursos, mejora de procesos y la incorporación de herramientas tecnológicas. Asimismo, se identificaron resultados relacionados con la reducción de pérdidas, el desempeño ambiental, los costos y la generación de valor. Sin embargo, los métodos, indicadores y unidades de análisis presentan diferencias entre los estudios, y no todos cuantifican directamente los impactos de las estrategias evaluadas.
