80% of global biodiversity is tropical
Accelerated erosion due to more rain
Greater soil variation
Diverse and variable microclimates
Varying photoperiods in longitudinal country
Born in the 70s, turned soybeans into a tropical crop
Homegrown biological industry
Uniquely complex agribusiness conditions… Gave birth to a deep science ecosystem
Universities playing key role in high level agfood R&D
ESALQ’s tech ecosystem focused on agfood in Piracicaba/SP
As the complexity increases, greater opportunities lie ahead for the application of new technologies
