GLOBAL AGRIBUSINESS CENTER
Accounting for around ¼ of Brazil's GDP and half of its exports, agribusiness is currently the most internationalized sector and one of the most important in terms of generating income for the Brazilian economy. Set in a global context of uncertainty regarding post-pandemic recovery, the credibility of multilateralism, and the paths that global geopolitics will take in the face of the increasingly concrete threat of climate change, the sector's high numbers are accompanied by the emergence of major challenges in areas such as competitiveness, food security, and the environment.
linked to Insper Business Studies Center, the Global Agribusiness Center (Insper Agro Global) aims to analyze the major drivers of transformation and the dynamics of Brazil's insertion in global agribusiness. Created in 2019, the center aims to become a national and international reference in the analysis of global agribusiness, developing strategic studies, policy designs with a solid theoretical and empirical basis, and training public managers and private sector leaders.
Insper Agro Global's contributions are centered on three pillars: (i) teaching (executive and academic courses), (ii) research (books, strategic studies, and papers), and (iii) knowledge outreach and dissemination (events, debates, lectures, and media articles). The center's work focuses on three priority research areas: (1) international trade and food security; (2) geopolitics, strategy, and international security in agribusiness; (3) the nexus between agricultural production and the environment; and (4) tropical bioenergy in the global energy transition.
The Center is developing partnerships in the country and abroad. Since its creation, it has maintained a technical agreement with Embrapa and relies on the institutional support of companies.
