The lack of transparency and traceability in food supply chains (FSCs) is raising concerns among consumers and stakeholders about food information credibility, food quality, and safety. Insufficient records, a lack of digitalization and standardization of processes, and information exchange are some of the most critical challenges, which can be tackled with disruptive technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and distributed ledger technologies (DLTs). Studies provide evidence that novel technological and sustainable practices in FSCs are necessary. This paper aims to describe current practical applications of DLTs and IoT in FSCs, investigating the challenges of implementation, and potentials for future research directions, thus contributing to achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Within a systematic literature review, the content of 69 academic publications was analyzed, describing aspects of implementation and measures to address the challenges of scalability, security, and privacy of DLT, and IoT solutions. The challenges of high costs, standardization, regulation, interoperability, and energy consumption of DLT solutions were also classified as highly relevant, but were not widely addressed in literature. The application of DLTs in FSCs can potentially contribute to 6 strategic SDGs, providing synergies and possibilities for more sustainable, traceable, and transparent FSCs.

Recently, one of the hottest topics in the logistics sector has been the traceability of goods and the monitoring of their condition during transportation. Perishable goods, such as fresh goods, have specifically attracted attention of the researchers that have already proposed different solutions to guarantee quality and freshness of food through the whole cold chain. In this regard, the use of Internet of Things (IoT)-enabling technologies and its specific branch called edge computing is bringing different enhancements thereby achieving easy remote and real-time monitoring of transported goods. Due to the fast changes of the requirements and the difficulties that researchers can encounter in proposing new solutions, the fast prototype approach could contribute to rapidly enhance both the research and the commercial sector. In order to make easy the fast prototyping of solutions, different platforms and tools have been proposed in the last years, however it is difficult to guarantee end-to-end security at all the levels through such platforms. For this reason, based on the experiments reported in literature and aiming at providing support for fast-prototyping, end-to-end security in the logistics sector, the current work presents a solution that demonstrates how the advantages offered by the Azure Sphere platform, a dedicated hardware (i.e., microcontroller unit, the MT3620) device and Azure Sphere Security Service can be used to realize a fast prototype to trace fresh food conditions through its transportation. The proposed solution guarantees end-to-end security and can be exploited by future similar works also in other sectors.

“…O uso de sensores para a detecção e manipulação de produtos já foi citado como uma forma de perceber a pirataria de produtos, pelas próprias características intrínsecasà sua natureza, [Blankenburg et al 2015]. Outro estudo utiliza uma rede de borda (Edge), para facilitar a coleta de dados, descentralizada através de sensores e pequenos pré-processamentos, [Gai et al 2020]. O uso de identificação por radiofrequência (RFID), logística reversa, blockchain e indústria 4.0, tem aparecido na literatura consultada, [Rejeb et al 2020].…”

“…Por fim, percebese uma lacuna neles pois, tratam de problemas específicos e os que abordam tecnologias sobre rastreabilidade, não utilizam uma combinação de sensores, nem análise e pré-processamento de dados coletados de diversas fontes. Finalizamos apontando os trabalhos com maior contribuição para aàrea estudada são: [Fuertes et al 2016], [Lin et al 2018], [Gai et al 2020], [Blankenburg et al 2015] e [Hu et al 2021]; os trabalhos com relação indireta porém com contribuição oportuna são: [Guo and Zhang 2010…”

A movimentação de agroquímicos na cadeia produtiva é imensa, oportunizando roubos, mal uso e evasão de impostos. O controle atual é precário e necessita de melhorias, possibilitando um vasto campo de pesquisa. Conforme a literatura na área, as propostas atuais de rastreabilidade usam apenas poucos sensores, além do fato de não existir combinação e integração entre eles. Nesse contexto, este trabalho apresenta um modelo que permite a rastreabilidade de defensivos agrícolas, combinando sensores de Internet das Coisas (IoT), aprendizado de máquina, redes de neblina (fog), identificação por rádio frequência (RFID) e blockchain. O diferencial do modelo está na contribuição de uma proposta modular e que permite segurança e confiabilidade no controle dos produtos. O modelo desenvolvido apresentou resultados concisos e promissores. Quando realizada a movimentação de objetos dentro de containers e fora destes, sensores capturam e enviaram os dados das ações para armazenamento e análise das camadas seguintes do modelo.
