Impacto de la economía circular en la cadena de suministro del sector agrícola: una revisión sistemática

The circular economy represents an alternative for improving resource utilization and reducing losses within agricultural supply chains. The objective of this research was to analyze the scientific evidence regarding the impact of the circular economy on such chains, based on a systematic literature review conducted according to the PRISMA methodology. An initial search in Scopus yielded 937 documents, from which 49 articles were selected for content analysis. The studies were examined using categories of implementation—such as waste utilization and valorization, resource optimization and recovery, sustainable and circular production, and reverse logistics and material recovery—as well as various types of environmental, economic, operational, technological, and social impacts. The results highlight diverse applications of the circular economy, including the transformation of agri-food waste into new products, resource recovery, process optimization, and the integration of technological tools.
