It is estimated that approximately half of the food produced worldwide involves female participation, which in agribusiness is concentrated primarily in agro-industries. Family-run agro-industries play a crucial role in food production, with women occupying central positions. This study investigated the competencies present in the professional profile of women managing family agroindustries in Mato Grosso do Sul. Based on a qualitative approach, ten semistructured interviews were conducted with active managers in the state, selected through contacts obtained at fairs and events related to family farming and rural tourism, as well as snowball sampling until theoretical saturation was reached. Data were collected between February and March 2025 using in-person meetings, video calls, and voice calls. Data analysis followed the principles of Grounded Theory, with open and axial coding, supported by ATLAS.ti software. The results indicate that management is predominantly collaborative and adaptive, with a strategic division of responsibilities and involvement of multiple generations, requiring skills in dialogue, negotiation, and flexibility. The managers’ trajectories highlight the importance of training provided by public institutions and government programs, traditional knowledge, practical experience, support networks, and self-directed learning strategies. The professional profile is characterized by entrepreneurial competence, strategic vision, assertive communication, leadership, resilience, networking, innovation, ethics, people management, and emotional intelligence, composing a multifaceted and adaptive profile with decision-making and people-management practices tailored to the family context.

In light of increasing sustainability demands and Brazil’s commitments under the Paris Agreement, this study aims to develop an interactive application prototype to estimate GHG emissions across the swine production chain, based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) parameters in accordance with FAO (2018) protocols and IPCC (2006/2019) guidelines. The methodology comprises: (i) adapting 13 key stages from the FAO protocol to Brazil’s conditions; (ii) building a technical GHG inventory segmented by production phase (breeding, nursery, finishing); (iii) modeling nutrient and emission flows, including nitrogen, phosphorus, volatile solids, and enteric methane; and (iv) implementing a computational tool using R Shiny with a user-friendly interface. Results show feed as the dominant emission source, and manure management as critical for CH₄ and N₂O. Scenario simulations within the application demonstrated that covered lagoon biodigesters and optimized diets significantly reduce emissions while enabling energy recovery. The study concludes that adapting global methodologies to national contexts is both feasible and essential for environmental governance in swine farming, enabling alignment with carbon markets, ESG reporting frameworks, and national mitigation policies.

However, this practice faces regulatory challenges and environmental concerns. This study investigated the perception of regulatory and supervisory agency employees regarding the environmental sustainability of aerial application in agriculture. Specifically, it aimed to assess their level of knowledge about management practices, pesticide application, and associated technologies, identifying potential knowledge gaps; examine how technical expertise influences sustainability perceptions by analyzing how different levels of specialization impact environmental impact assessments; and explore the adequacy of current Brazilian regulations, considering employees' views on their effectiveness in mitigating environmental risks and promoting sustainable practices. The research adopted a quantitative and descriptive approach, using a questionnaire to collect data on respondents’ profiles, knowledge levels, and perceptions of aerial application’s environmental impact. The questionnaire was sent via email to all public servants from the regulatory agencies MAPA and SUASA, resulting in a final sample of 154 employees across 23 states and the Federal District. A logistic regression model was applied to statistically analyze whether perceptions of aerial application sustainability are influenced by socioeconomic characteristics and knowledge of the activity. The results indicate that 53.9% of participants have a comprehensive understanding of the technologies applied in aerial agriculture, which may be associated with a more favorable perception of its sustainability. However, the overall perception remained neutral, reflecting concerns about its environmental impact. The logistic model presented an Adjusted R² of 33.47%, showing that perceptions of agricultural aviation sustainability are strongly influenced by perceived environmental impact, considering factors such as contamination risks, agricultural environmental impact, regulatory effectiveness, and aerial application management. These findings highlight the need for continuous technical training initiatives and deeper discussions on sustainable practices in the sector. Understanding these dynamics can significantly contribute to improving regulations and promoting more sustainable agricultural aviation in Brazil.

Sustainable beef production, often referred to as green, sustainable, or carbon-neutral beef, is a strategic approach within the production system that aims to minimize environmental impact, particularly regarding greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as cattle farming is one of the major contributors to climate change. This study aims to assess the economic and financial feasibility of a silvopastoral system in the Cerrado Biome, focusing on carbon-neutral beef production. The specific objectives are: (1) to analyze the main sustainable intensification strategies in Brazilian beef production, demonstrating the potential of integrating forests into cattle farming systems for pasture recovery and methane (CH₄) emission offsetting in beef cattle production; (2) to identify the socioeconomic factors influencing the return on investment in silvopastoral systems, such as land ownership, financing options, subsidies, and tax incentives. To conduct this study, an economic assessment was performed using scenarios that included Tectona grandis (Teak) trees integrated with Nelore cattle. Capital investment evaluation techniques were applied, including Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Equivalent Annual Uniform Value (EAUV), Discounted Payback (DP), Profitability Index (PI), Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR), Benefit-Cost Ratio (B/C), the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), and risk and sensitivity analysis using Monte Carlo Simulation. Beyond financial return expectations, this study aims to contribute to global challenges outlined in the 2030 Agenda, particularly the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) No. 2 and 13, which address sustainable agriculture, zero hunger, and climate change mitigation. The return on investment in agroforestry systems is influenced by socioeconomic factors such as land ownership, financing options, subsidies, tax incentives, access to information, and technical assistance, along with agronomic aspects. However, the high implementation costs of the system require government support through subsidies, financing, and incentives to help producers cover initial expenses and wait for long-term returns.
