Autoria: LIMA, C. E. P.; FONTENELLE, M. R. Conteúdo: Abstract: Climate emergency poses an unprecedented challenge to vulnerable populations, threatening above all low- and middle-income communities that depend on agriculture for their livelihoods, such as family farmers. Extreme events such as heat waves, droughts, and extreme rainfall are expected in tropical regions, threatening the cultivation of various plant species, including many that fall under the vegetable crops group. For this reason, our team has been working on multiple fronts to mitigate the impacts of climate change and to increase the resilience and adaptability of vegetable crops, thereby safeguarding not only the right to an equilibrated environment but also the rights to food, employment and a dignified life. This position paper presents a series of Research, Development, and Innovation actions and results that have been conducted by Embrapa Vegetables and its partners, under our leadership, to safeguard family-based vegetable crops in the face of projected climate and risks scenarios. We focus the discussion on the use of Climate Intelligence and the enhancement of vegetable crops resilience to achieve limate justice and a just transition—concepts well established by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and aligned with Brazil’s legal framework. Over the past 15 years, our work has been building an ecosystem to protect this specific population, and we intend to continue this evolution over the coming years, advancing technologically whenever possible and necessary.

Autoria: PEDROSO, M. T. M.; FERREIRA, Z. R. Conteúdo: Este estudo caracteriza o perfil tecnológico e a intensidade produtiva dos polos de produção de batata no Brasil, usando dados do Censo Agropecuário 2017. O objetivo é mapear a realidade agrária e identificar diferenças entre polos de produtores e de volume para subsidiar políticas públicas e pesquisas agronômicas no setor hortícola.

R.; VENDRAME, L. P. de C.; MARTINS, S. C. V.; GUEDES, I. M. R.; LUSTOSA JÚNIOR, I. M.; LIMA, C. E. P. Conteúdo: The development of Low-Cost Phenotyping Platforms Supported by Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is part of a recently launched research initiative at Embrapa Vegetables in Brasília, Federal District, aimed at creating a National Platform for Adaptation to Climate Change Applied to Family Farming (Clima AF). Through Prompt Engineering and Command Chaining, this stage was designed for the visual assessment of physiological disorders in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) tuberous roots in the context of the Climate Emergency. The pipeline consists of four stages: 1 - Definition of an expert persona; 2 - Phenological contextualization and critical root filling period; 3 - Visual anatomical phenotyping; and 4 - Synthesis of the physiological disorders found, with a focus on heat stress. The methodology is available as open access following FAIR principles. The analysis is conducted using minimal information, such as photos that can be taken with everyday devices like martphones and information about the harvest season. Because it is available as open access, it democratizes information and contributes to achieving climate justice for a socioeconomically ulnerable audience (family farmers).

Autoria: MARTINS, T. C.; CESAR, T. Q. Z.; SILVA, F. B. da; GUEDES, I. M. R.; SOUCHIE, E. L.; DAMKE, C. da R.; DORO, V. da C.; SILVA, F. G. Conteúdo: Urban agriculture plays a strategic role in sustainability, food security, and climate adaptation in cities, where temperature emerges as a key variable. This study conducted a scientometric and qualitative analysis to investigate how temperature has been addressed in the scientific literature on urban agriculture between 2020 and 2025. A total of 244 documents were retrieved from Scopus and Web of Science, followed by a qualitative screening that resulted in 20 articles with high thematic relevance. The results reveal a strong geographic concentration of research in Asia–Pacific countries and a rapid expansion of publications after 2022. The qualitative analysis enabled the classification of studies into three main groups: Group A (open and semi-open systems), Group B (building-integrated and protected systems), and Group C (fully controlled indoor environments). Group C represents the majority of studies (55%), indicating a strong research focus on high-technology systems such as plant factories. Group B accounts for (30%), highlighting growing interest in energy integration between agriculture and buildings, while Group A represents only (15%), showing that open-field urban agriculture remains underexplored in terms of temperature. Temperature is addressed at different scales: as a microclimatic regulator in open environments, as a mediator of energy exchange in building-integrated systems, and as a high-precision control variable in fully controlled systems. Despite its central role, temperature-focused studies remain limited, revealing gaps in empirical validation and multi-scale integration. These findings highlight a technological shift toward controlled environment agriculture and the need for integrated approaches combining microclimate regulation, energy efficiency, and precision control.
