Increased productivity strengthens commitment to "doing more", "using less"
The evolution of Brazilian agribusiness, without a doubt, has a unique meaning for the prominent position that the country occupies on the world stage.
Agriculture currently occupies about 30.2% of the national territory, of which 7.8% are destined for the production of grains, fruits, vegetables and perennial crops, 1.2% covered by planted forests and 21.2% are destined to pastures with 8% native and 13.2% planted.
The evolution of Brazilian agribusiness, without a doubt, has a unique meaning for the prominent position that the country occupies on the world stage. The increase in Brazilian production has been due more to productivity growth than to the expansion of the agricultural frontier, and this is a relevant factor in the sector's trajectory. Of the 851 million hectares of Brazilian territory, around 66.3% are covered by native vegetation. Agriculture currently occupies about 30.2% of the national territory, of which 7.8% are destined for the production of grains, fruits, vegetables and perennial crops, 1.2% covered by planted forests and 21.2% are destined to pastures with 8% native and 13.2% planted. The numbers in themselves are enough to be proud of and not only that, but all the input of technology for this green footprint to continue progressing.
Brazil already occupies a position of merit in the world agribusiness scenario, but it will be even greater if it continues to implement technological innovations and expand sustainability in agribusiness. “After all, the DNA of Brazilian agriculture is at the essence of the Sustainable Development Goals, and this is not a mere coincidence, but a reflection of what has been understood and done by the rural sector for many decades”, as described in the article by Mônika Bergamaschi emphasizing the eradication of hunger and sustainable production and consumption. Thus, it is understood that putting sustainability into practice in agribusiness is to be able to considerably increase food production, improving food security and ensuring that the current and future generations have their needs met.
Concerned with animal welfare, with the eradication of human hunger and with the contribution and respect for the environment, YesSinergy® brings sustainable solutions produced from raw materials from renewable sources, such as sugarcane and soy protein. In its industrial complex, the company uses organic sources of energy and steam that reduce damage to the environment.
As proof of this, the company has the Green Patent for the production of organic minerals, which represents an innovative technology with a favorable impact on the environment. “This is a program instituted by the INPI (National Institute of Industrial Property), in which a company that meets its requirements can request its inclusion. It analyzes whether its production process respects and contributes to the environment. This process for obtaining minerals chelated with soy amino acids is patented by Yes (INPI Invention Patent: BR 10 2015 029707-6)”, comments the Global Technical Director, Carlos Ronchi.
“At Yes, we know that preserving is acting in the present to guarantee the future. We talk about this because we experience it in each of our productions”, he concludes.
We are passionate about science!
Founded in 2008, the YesSinergy® it combines animal welfare, food safety and sustainability to produce natural additives that replace antibiotics for animal health and nutrition. Since 2016, YES has been part of Aqua Capital, an investment fund aimed at companies in the agribusiness sector in Brazil and South America.
