The Economics and Organization of Brazilian Agriculture: Recent
Evolution and Productivity Gains presents insights on Brazilian
agriculture and its impressive gains in productivity and
international competitiveness, also providing insightful examples
for global policymakers. In Brazil, as in many countries, many
economists and policymakers believe that agriculture is a
traditional, low-tech sector that crowds out the development of
other economic sectors and the country. This book shows that this
anti-agriculture bias is ill-informed, and with population growth,
rising incomes, urbanization and diet changes - especially in
developing countries like China and India - on the rise, the demand
for food is expected to double in the next 40 years. Brazil has the
natural resources, technology and management systems in place to
benefit from this expected growth in food consumption and trade.
Through real-world examples, the book shows how other low-latitude
countries with tropical climate and soils like Brazil - especially
in sub-Saharan Africa - can benefit from the agricultural
technology, production, and management systems developed in Brazil.
Case studies in each of three key categories, including technology,
resource management, and effective government programs provide
valuable insights into effective decision-making to maximize the
effect of each.
