He is currently a professor at the Luiz de Queiroz School of Agriculture (ESALQ) and the Center for Carbon Studies in Tropical Agriculture (CCARBON) at the University of São Paulo (USP). His work focuses on research exploring the biological mechanisms associated with carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics in agricultural systems, with an emphasis on the impact of management practices on carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions in tropical agroecosystems.
True or False: Can Agriculture Be Sustainable?
Agribusiness occupies a central position in the climate debate: it is identified as a driver of deforestation and emissions, but also as a protagonist in productivity, technology and carbon capture potential. Amid regulatory pressures, market demands and advancing practices, the sector is experiencing a moment of redefinition. This panel confronts perceptions and evidence to discuss the extent to which agribusiness is part of the problem — or an essential part of the solution.
