Evolution of Agriculture in Brazil Challenges and Opportunities Labex Korea

Challenges and Opportunities We need a new knowledge-intensive revolution to address:  The raising cost of energy and the need to reduce the use of petrochemical inputs in agriculture;  The vulnerability of agricultural systems to global environmental change and to biological threats;  The need to increase the productivity of environmental services and natural resources, and to protect fragile biomes;  The need to promote the multi-functional roles of agriculture;  The need to reduce the technological divide between social groups & regions;  The growing demand for traceability and certified sustainable production …

Challenges and Opportunities Key challenges in the next 10 to 20 years:  To intensify research and use of advanced biology in genetic improvement;  To pursue the development of a strong and sustainable Brazilian bio-economy;  To develop further and intensify the use of precision farming and new tools for safety and pest monitoring and control;  To improve and intensify the use of integrated systems (agro-animal-forest);  To generalize the use of IT as a tool to reduce trade costs, especially by small-scale producers;  To accelerate the integration of value chains;  To promote sustainable overall increases in production and productivity;
