TECHNOLOGICAL ROADMAP OF THE USE OF BLOCKCHAIN IN FOOD SUPPLY CHAINS - PALMA OIL STUDY
Blockchain; Supply chain; Oil Palm; Sustainability.
The sustainable future, according to the UN, makes reference to actions that guarantee the sustainability of productive systems in face of natural resources. The challenges highlighted here are the search for a balance between expanding production and food fraud. This study aims to provide an insight into the development of blockchain-based solutions applied to palm oil supply chains, based on an analysis of the documents covered in the Scopus databases and Questel Orbit software patents. As a final product, there is the organization and visualization of the information retrieved from the technical documents of patents and scientific publications in a Technological Roadmap, where companies that stand out for defining strategies for commercial application in patent protection and scientific research were observed, even in the majority the protection classification is of technology management methods. Despite the wide spectrum of application of blockchains in the world, the study demonstrates that there is still a lack of solutions that actually implement a national, Amazonian context since actions for applications were found only in the Long Term stage.
