The beef production chain plays a strategic role in Brazilian and global agri-food systems and faces growing demands for sustainability, transparency, and traceability. Building on official Animal Transit Guide (GTA) records from Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, this study examines whether a ...

Accurate monitoring of hydrological dynamics in complex perennial landscapes is a cornerstone for tropical agricultural sustainability. Traditional energy balance models based on orbital optical data often face methodological bottlenecks due to cloud cover and the “greening myth,” where optical indice...

A aquicultura brasileira cresce de forma consistente e tem potencial para ampliar produção e exportações com menor impacto ambiental em relação a outras atividades da produção animal, especialmente quando alavancada por soluções de automação, sensores e inteligência de dados (Aquicultura digital)...

Coffee yield is influenced by climatic factors, with temperature and water availability being key determinants. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of climate variability on the yield of Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) cultivars across phenological phases and to validate an agro...

Banana fruits are susceptible to chilling injury (CI) under field conditions, which significantly impairs fruit quality. Cold tolerance varies among genotypes; however, only a limited number of cultivars have been identified as tolerant and are commercially cultivated. This study aimed to in...

The need to increase food production has become urgent. Pastoral farming systems based on grasslands in the tropics are essential players in this scenario, considering the surface area and stakeholders they represent. Improving productivity from existing grasslands can be a way forward ...

Carbon farming is a nature-based solution to capture atmospheric CO2 and store it as soil organic carbon (SOC). Carbon farming trading schemes (CFTS) incentivize farmers to adopt these practices. Integral to CFTS is forecasting SOC changes, typically achieved using traditional multicompartmental&...

The Ecological-Economic Zoning (ZEE) analyzes the landscape potentialities and vulnerabilities   using different environmental information. This study identifies and prioritizes the components and environmental factors used for the diagnosis of Brazilian ZEEs at 1:250,000 scale. The methodological guidelines of...

Despite the growing relevance of Agriculture 4.0 technologies for enhancing productivity, decision-making, and sustainability in agri-food systems, their adoption remains uneven in developing-country contexts. This study aims to analyze the perceived severity and co-occurrence structure of barriers to Agri...
