Abstract
Reverse logistics is a hotly debated practice in organizational and academic milieus. In fact, it has been established as a tool for the Brazilian policy of solid wastes. The importance of introducing reverse logistic system in agriculture-forest-pastoral and agro-industrial activities is self-evident since wastes from such activities are crucial for the environment and for human health. Current study identifies state-of-the-art research in the literature on reverse logistics of wastes produced by agriculture-forest-pastoral and agro-industrial activities to follow approach given to the theme in Brazilian research. The latter´s contribution to develop such systems in agribusiness and the gaps in current research are also investigated. A systematic review of the literature has been undertaken involving Capes Scientific Journals, Theses and Dissertations Databases, Scielo, Spell and, as a supplement, Google Academic, between 2005 and 2016. Results show that academic production for reverse logistics of wastes derived from agriculture-forest-pastoral and agroindustry activities is still scarce. On the other hand, research on post-consumption agrotoxic packages for recycling of organic residues derived from the great agro-industrial chains is predominant.
