The challenges of brazilian agribusiness against the need for environmental preservation

the necessary balance

Abstract

The agriculture is a basis of the agribusiness and use so much the natural resources. For the other size, the agribusiness is the support base of the Brazilian economy. Then, it’s necessary to find a balance between a primary production and environmental preservation. In this sense, this article aims to highlight the need to seek a balance between the use of natural resources for the growth of agribusiness and environmental preservation in Brazil and its challenges. To this end, information is presented on the transition from agriculture to agribusiness, the boundaries of nature in relation to the environment and economic growth, as well as some challenges and alternatives for a more sustainable agribusiness. Through the use of descriptive theoretical-historical methodologies and the analysis of the information obtained, the main conclusion reached is about the advances of agribusiness and the impacts caused by it. In this way, economic growth based on agriculture and livestock has been increasingly adapting to environmental standards, although much more can be achieved in search of balance. It is recommended to use economic policies that encourage the primary sector to invest in more sustainable agricultural and breeding practices, complementing available technologies and paving the way for balance and sustainability in the countryside.
