RODRIGUEZ-FERNANDEZ, Yadira; ABREU-LEDON, René    FRANZ, Matthias. Mapping usefulness for sustainability analysis in agri-food supply chains. []. , 40, 3, pp. 316-328.   25--2019. ISSN 1815-5936.

Currently, it is attempted to determine how to feed the growing world population sustainably. To achieve it is necessary to know the current and the desired state of the agri-food supply chains; for which, the Value Stream Mapping has been formerly used. The research aims to determine the state of knowledge and its implementation practice for supply chain sustainability analysis through a systematic literature review and use of backward and forward search methods. It is concluded that the Value Stream Mapping encompasses a wide range of elements, when combined with approaches such as Life Cycle Analysis, Methods and Time Study, Ergonomics, Occupational Health and Safety . Besides, the value stream simulation facilitates the identification of feasible improvements.
