The development of Brazilian agriculture and future challenges

Over the last four decades, Brazilian agriculture has stepped up to the challenges posed by society. In the 1970s, the four major challenges posed on the sector were: 1) to ensure food supply at reasonable prices, especially for cities that were undergoing heavy migratory flow from the rural population6; 2) to foster the development of the interior of Brazil, generating jobs, income and welfare to the rural population; 3) to ensure the occupation of the Brazilian territory and to preserve the Brazilian base of natural resources ; 4) to create production surplus to export, generating financial resources to boost other sectors of the economy.
