Embrapa issues strategic agricultural policy proposals for Brazil
Embrapa, the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation, has released a strategic agenda for Brazil's agriculture to guide legislative and executive candidates in the upcoming October elections. The document emphasizes sustainable policies, scientific investment, and technological innovation to address climate change, food security, and energy transition. The agribusiness sector remains a cornerstone of the Brazilian economy, contributing R$ 3.2 trillion to the GDP in 2025 and accounting for nearly half of the nation's total exports.
In parallel, legislative efforts are targeting rural security and financial stability. Federal Deputy Zé Medeiros has proposed the 'Lei da Blindagem Rural' (Rural Shield Law), which seeks to create a National Integrated Rural Monitoring System using drones and satellites to combat crimes like cargo theft and machinery robbery that drive up food prices.
Additionally, the Parliamentary Front for Agribusiness (FPA) is advocating for reforms to rural insurance frameworks. The goal is to move from emergency debt renegotiations toward a permanent risk management policy, potentially protecting billions in production against climate-related losses.
