| Popis: | Blockchain has been used to solve problems from different sectors. In agriculture, Blockchain is being applied for improving food safety, and transaction times. The increasing interest of Blockchain technology in agriculture calls for a clear, systematic overview. In this sense, we present a systematic literature review (SLR) whose objective is to collect all relevant research on Blockchain technology in agriculture to detect current research topics, main contributions, and benefits of applying Blockchain in agriculture. We have extracted 10 primary studies from scientific databases and web sources published between 2016 and 2018, which means that Blockchain is a recent research area in the agricultural sector. The results show that 60% of papers are focused on food supply chain. Also, 50% of the studies on Blockchain in Agriculture are dominated by Asian community researchers, especially from China. Similarly, the half of the studies addressed challenges related to privacy and security of the Internet of Things with Blockchain technology. |
