Capacidade inovativa dos produtores de leite em Goiás, Brasil
(2025) Nogueira, Matheus Lira; Wander, Alcido Elenor
This study investigates innovative capacity’s influence on dairy farmers’ competitiveness and productivity in Goiás. The research is based on Evolutionary Economics to understand how innovation impacts agribusiness companies. Four dimensions of innovative capacity were analyzed: development, operations, management, and transaction. The study follows a quantitative methodology and interviews 42 rural producers. The results indicate that operational and managerial capacity significantly impacts both competitiveness and productivity, highlighting the importance of efficient management and process optimization. Meanwhile, development capacity positively influences only productivity, suggesting that continuous investments in technology and organizational improvement lead to higher productive efficiency. On the other hand, transaction capacity did not show a significant impact, possibly due to the characteristics of the commodity market, where prices are externally regulated, limiting the influence of individual negotiations. This research contributes to the understanding of innovation in the agricultural sector. It reinforces the need for public policies and business strategies that promote managerial training and the modernization of production processes. For future studies, it is suggested that the factors that drive the innovative capacity of rural producers be analyzed.
Poultry Eco-Controls: performance and accounting
(2025) Rodrigues, Valquíria Duarte Vieira; Wander, Alcido Elenor; Rosa, Fabrícia Silva da
This study aims to evaluate environmental performance indicators and ecocontrols in the poultry production chain in Goiás, with a focus on forest management, waste generation, water resources, energy use, emissions, and environmental accounting. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining qualitative and quantitative data from 13 agro-industrial companies, 230 farms, and 816 broiler houses. The results highlight the role of environmental management accounting (EMA) in monitoring and improving environmental practices, supporting continuous performance assessment. Econometric analysis revealed a positive link between sustainability practices and economic growth, as measured by GDP per capita. However, productive capacity and energy efficiency showed no significant impact at the 5% level. The study limitations include the focus on a single region and industry, which may limit the generalizability of the findings. Future research should expand to other chains and regions to assess broader applicability and explore the public policy impacts on environmental sustainability, as well as the impact of public policies on environmental sustainability within the sector.
The foundation of international competitiveness in the bioplastics sector: a comparative study of Brazil and China
(2025) Godoi, Cintia Neves; Costa Filho, Bento Alves da; Campos, Marcelo Ladvocat Rocha; Wander, Alcido Elenor
This paper presents a comparative analysis of Brazil and China regarding the productive and competitive foundations of the biopolymer sector, drawing primarily on Michael Porter’s theoretical framework. The study aims to discuss the elements that constitute the so-called "foundation for international competitors" in both countries, focusing on the formation of a potential biopolymer cluster and considering public policies, infrastructure, productive relationships, and the role of the state in fostering innovation and competitiveness. The methods used combine literature review with secondary data from official sources in Brazil and China. The findings highlight the importance of a strong, productive base and suggest that China’s experience underscores the need to strengthen state involvement in fostering a dynamic environment for productivity and competitiveness.

Competitividade e inovação no agronegócio: revisão sistemática da literatura
(2025-08) Nogueira, Matheus Lira; Cruz, José Elenilson; Wander, Alcido Elenor
The objective of this article was to understand the changes in the relationships between competitiveness and innovation in agribusiness, as well as to understand the methodologies used in the articles analyzed, the chains studied and the amount of research on the topic, through an international systematic review of the literature. To this end, a search was carried out in the Scopus databases over a ten-year period, from January 2013 to January 2023. The process of inclusion and exclusion of works was based on the protocol by Cronin et al. (2008) and data analysis was carried out using the content analysis technique. The results found show that the international literature on innovation and competitiveness in agribusiness is limited and scarce, highlighting research gaps. In the works analyzed, it was possible to notice that there is no diversity between the ways of relating innovation to competitiveness.
Propagação vegetativa do pequizeiro (Caryocar brasiliense Camb.) por estaquia: estratégia para conservação e uso sustentável no Cerrado
(2025) Monteiro, Ricardo Neves Guimarães; Neri, Luciene Machado da Silva; Chagas, Matheus Peres; Kamiya, Aline Cristiane; Souza, Eli Regina Barboza de
The pequi tree (Caryocar brasiliense Camb.) is an emblematic native species of the Brazilian Cerrado, of great ecological and socioeconomic importance. Although widely used by traditional communities, its propagation is still primarily by seed, which limits its production due to dormancy and low germination rate. The objective of this study was to evaluate the rooting of pequi cuttings as a function of the age of the mother plant, cutting type, substrate, and the influence of pruning. Two experiments were conducted in a greenhouse environment with intermittent misting. The first experiment evaluated the use of three substrates (Bioplant®, Amafibra®, and MecPlant®), two types of cuttings (herbaceous and semi-hardwood), and two plant ages (young and mature). The second experiment evaluated the effect of rejuvenation pruning on young and mature trees. The variables analyzed were: live cuttings (EV), cuttings with callus (EC), cuttings with root primordia (PR), rooted cuttings (ER), and average root size (TR). The results showed that: (i) cuttings from young plants showed greater survival and root primordia formation compared to those from adult plants; (ii) there was no significant difference between herbaceous and semi-hardwood cuttings, although herbaceous cuttings showed greater callus formation and PR; (iii) the Bioplant® substrate presented the best results in LV and EC; and (iv) rejuvenation pruning negatively influenced all parameters evaluated, regardless of plant age. Therefore, we conclude that vegetative propagation of pequi trees by cuttings is viable, especially using cuttings from young plants in Bioplant® substrate, and that rejuvenation pruning is recommended after cuttings are taken.
A influência dos consumidores de queijos artesanais na intenção de compra
(2025-06) Dias, Rejane Carmo Rezende; Cruz, José Elenilson; Medina, Gabriel da Silva; Cavalcante, David Frederik da Silva
There is a growing consumer interest in purchasing local foods, including artisanal cheeses. However, there is a lack of empirical studies that address consumer perceptions of local foods, particularly with regard to risk perception and the influence of consumer clusters on purchase intention. This study aims to identify market segments in the purchase of artisanal cheeses and their influence on risk perception and purchase intention. The selected consumers were those of Cabacinha and Canastra cheeses, residing in or having a connection to the region. Data collection was conducted through printed questionnaires, resulting in 343 validated responses. Consumers were clustered using the TwoStep method, and the influence of these clusters on purchase intention was analyzed through the Kruskal-Wallis test. Consumers of Canastra cheese with a high level of education who value certification seals, despite perceiving high risks, exhibit a greater purchase intention than those with lower education levels who disregard certification and have a lower risk perception. In addition to contributing to the academic literature, this study provides valuable insights for artisanal cheese producers by outlining consumer profiles, thus offering support to promote rural entrepreneurship.

However, structural challenges persist, such as high costs for environmentally sustainable technologies and limited government support. It was found that local rice farming contributes to job creation, infrastructure improvements, and increased family income, but has a limited impact on food security and reducing rural exodus. Research Implications: Environmental management, although relevant in the context studied, requires increased institutional and financial support to enhance its effectiveness. The importance of future research that delves deeper into the interrelationships between production practices, environmental preservation, and social inclusion is highlighted. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating in practice how farmers implement scientifically recommended production practices. The relevance and value of this research are evident in the statements made by participants.
Estudos sobre Lean Manufacturing no Agronegócio: uma revisão sistemática de literatura
(2025-08) Lopes, Cassiomar Rodrigues; Cruz, José Elenilson; Santos, Paulo Henrique dos
Although agribusiness is an important segment of the Brazilian economy, permeated by varied and distinct production systems, few studies investigate Lean Manufacturing techniques and tools in its activities. This study aimed to map the research published between 2018 and 2022 on the topic of Lean, carried out in the context of agribusiness activities, identifying their main results and possible research gaps. Using a specific protocol for systematic literature review and searches in the Scopus database for empirical and theoretical articles in English and Portuguese, 53 works were initially identified. However, 47 articles were excluded because they did not address Lean applications in agribusiness. The six studies that constituted the final sample were mostly carried out in the form of case studies, with a qualitative and quantitative approach. Despite being explored, applications of Lean tools in agribusiness present significant results that contribute to the elimination of waste, improvement of production efficiency, product quality, and improvement of worker ergonomics. The paths for future research involve replicating the studies analyzed here and carrying out longitudinal interventionist studies to apply the most common Lean techniques in this segment, such as Continuous Flow, Kaizen, Total Quality Management, Poka Yoke, Standardized Work, Pull Production and Supply Chain Integration.

Key findings include the importance of balanced feeding in raw material sourcing, with attention to grains, proteins, and supplements. Industrial-scale production was examined, emphasizing advanced technologies for optimal chicken development. Sustainability practices were highlighted in the use and end-of-life phases, including incineration, recycling, and composting. Limitations include the case study's scope and potential underestimation due to limited data. Future research should explore regions and production systems, conduct comparative studies, and incorporate sustainability indicators. Despite its limitations, the study provides valuable insights into sustainable poultry practices and emphasizes the need for broader, context-driven research.
Ações ambientais no Tribunal de Justiça do Estado de Goiás e seus efeitos no desenvolvimento sustentável
(2026) Grotoli, Graziella Pereira da Silva; Wander, Alcido Elenor
This research critically analyzes the performance of the Court of Justice of the State of Goiás (TJ/GO) in the context of sustainable regional development and environmental issues in five districts: Anápolis, Catalão, Itumbiara, Rio Verde, and Senador Canedo. Based on an analysis of 35 environmental lawsuits filed between 2017 and 2021, the study examines how the Judiciary's actions affect the environment and reflect its commitment to sustainability. The research is grounded in a theoretical framework that explores the concept of a socio-environmental state, the role of the Judiciary in environmental law, and the notion of sustainable regional development. The central objective is to assess the nature of environmental lawsuits, their environmental impacts, and the TJ/GO's stance on sustainability. The results provide a comprehensive overview of the types of cases, the average trial time, the profile of the parties, and the content of court decisions. The research highlights the Judiciary's relevance in promoting sustainability and proposes guidelines for future research on the interface between environmental law and sustainable regional development, especially in Goiás.
Factors influencing the purchase intention of brazilian artisanal cheeses: a study based on consumer planned behavior and perceived risk
(2025) Dias, Rejane Carmo Rezende; Cruz, José Elenilson; Medina, Gabriel da Silva; Fagundes, André Francisco Alcântara
Artisanal cheeses are local foods of growing interest from consumers. However, empirical knowledge of the factors that influence the purchase intention of local foods is still limited. Thus, this study aimed to analyze, through the lenses of the theory of perceived behavior and the theory of perceived risk, the factors determining the purchase intention of local consumers for these two important Brazilian artisanal cheeses. Additionally, we verified whether attitude is a mediating variable of the relationship between perceived risk and purchase intention. We collected data in person using a printed questionnaire from a sample of 343 consumers. The data were analyzed using simple correspondence analysis and structural equation modeling with least-squares estimation. The results show that attitude, social norms, perceived behavioral control, and perceived risk positively affect purchase intention, explaining 41% of the variance. Perceived risk positively influences attitude, and this operates as a viable partial mediator of the relationship between perceived risk and purchase intention. We identified that local consumers of both artisanal cheeses do not purchase the products due to a personal obligation to value the product or its producer but because they maintain close relationships with the producers, consisting of frequent direct purchases from the producers.
Cultural woods in Brazil: historical legacy and future frontiers
(2025) Melo Júnior, João Carlos Ferreira de; Silva, Lazaro Benedito da; Melo, Luiz Eduardo de Lima; Brandes, Arno Fritz das Neves; Pereira, Bárbara Luísa Corradi; Callado, Cátia Henriques; Calderon, Claudene Menezes Atayde; Barros, Cláudia Franca; Carvalho, Eduardo Reis de; Oliveira, Gustavo Borba de; Chagas, Matheus Peres
Historical woods express cultural relations around the use of biodiversity by human societies. This article presents an overview of woods used for cultural purposes in Brazil based on the epistemological concept of historical anatomy. Based on 64 publications between 1994 and 2025, this study maps the taxonomic diversity and categories of cultural use of wood, as well as the approaches and contributions to the field made by research groups and wood anatomists. The results show regional asymmetries, with a predominance of studies in the South and Southeast regions of the country and temporal gaps in the other regions. Furthermore, interest in the field has grown in recent years, contributing to a better understanding of the historical use of woods from Brazilian flora. A search was conducted for specialized literature in the main online databases that related historical woods to anatomical identification of the wood. A total of 164 species were recorded in 14 use categories, with emphasis on shelters/buildings, sacred statuary, and watercraft. The concentration of studies in a few states and the prevalence of some species indicate cultural patterns and structural limitations of national research. The work proposes guidelines to expand geographic and thematic coverage, strengthen research networks, and guide public policies aimed at valuing the cultural heritage of wood in Brazil.
Modelos digitais de elevação gerados com sensores embarcados em drones e satélites: análise comparativa para perícias ambientais
(2025) Vieira, Andrea dos Santos; Ferreira, Manuel Eduardo
Material evidence in environmental forensics requires high precision, playing a crucial role in identifying crimes and the potential conviction of suspects. Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are essential for topographic analyses; however, free data from orbital sensors may have inadequate scales (low spatial resolution). This study compares DEMs generated by photogrammetry with RPAS (drones) and the Copernicus DEM (based on Sentinel-1 satellite data), assessing their effectiveness in environmental forensics.The results indicate that drone-based DEMs provide greater accuracy in height and slope measurements, validated with geodetic RTK GNSS. The study concludes that forensic reports can be more reliable with RPAS-generated DEMs, although cost and processing time should be considered.
Análise comparativa e descritiva dos diferentes APLs Apícolas em Goiás
(2025-06) Sousa Júnior, José Carlos de; Souza, Cleonice Borges de; Rocha, Fernanda Rodrigues Taveira; Costa, João Vítor Silva
Beekeeping is an activity of great economic and environmental importance in Goiás. With a favorable climate and diversity of flora, the state has the potential to stand out in the production of honey and its derivatives. In this context,the Local Productive Arrangements (APLs) play a key role in organizing and strengthening the sector. The objective of this article is to carry out a comparative and descriptive analysis of the different beekeeping APLs in Goiás, highlighting the characteristics of each region and the challenges faced by producers. In this sense, it is intended to contribute to the understanding of the beekeeping panorama in the state and to the promotion of public policies that encourage the sustainable development of the sector. At the same time, it reinforces the fragility of productive arrangements as developmental public policies, when treated as a government policy and not a state policy.
Mapping resilient landscapes to climate change in a megadiverse country
(2025) Rosenfield, Milena Fermina; Jardim, Lucas Lacerda Caldas Zanini; Fonseca, Marina Antongiovanni da; Querido, Luciano Carramaschi de Alagão; Ribeiro, Alisson André; Sánchez-Tapia, Andrea; Gurgel, Priscila Cabral Silveira; Terribile, Levi Carina; Venticinque, Eduardo Martins; Albernaz, Ana Luisa Kerti Mangabeira; Ferreira, Manuel Eduardo
The effects of global climate change on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning are unevenly distributed in the geographic space.Identifying sites more suitable to sustain biodiversity in a changing climate is essential to both species conservation and restoration strategies at different scales. Here, we map terrestrial climate-resilient sites for biodiversity across Brazil to identify sites with greater chances of providing suitable conditions for species to persist under regional climate change. Our mapping combines spatial metrics based on landscape heterogeneity, a proxy for microclimatic variability, and local connectedness, a measure of connectivity between habitats, to determine landscape resilience, assuming that resilience to climate change will be greater the more heterogeneous the characteristics of local habitats are and the more connected they are in the landscape. Our results show that within each biome,medium to high resilient sites are mostly found in the Amazon (40% of the biome) and Pantanal (38%). Low resilience, conversely,is concentrated in the Atlantic Forest (41% of the biome), followed by Cerrado (37%), Pampa (36%), and Caatinga (34%). Land scape resilience information has the potential to be used to effectively guide decision-making and public policy on strategies for conserva-tion, restoration, and sustainable use practices. Priority for conservation should be on high resilience sites as they have the potential to sustain biodiversity in face of undergoing and future climate change. Other approaches could be used in situations of medium to low resilience also, such as: conservation of current corridors in sites with high local connectedness, but low landscape heterogeneity; restoration of natural vegetation on sites that show high landscape heterogeneity, but low local connectedness; and sustainable prac-tices in areas of low resilience. Our study provides an updated method to pinpoint climate-resilient sites for biodiversity which was applied to a megadiverse country but is applicable to any ecosystem around the globe.
Assessing nitrogen content in flood-irrigated rice plantations using uav-based multispectral imageries
(2025-12) Lima, Gabriella Santos Arruda de; Ferreira, Manuel Eduardo; Santos, Maik Leão dos; Heinemann, Alexandre Bryan; Costa, João Vitor Silva
Nitrogen is essential for agricultural crops, especially rice, and monitoring its demand is crucial. Remote sensing offers a fast and efficient alternative to field sampling, facilitating fertilizer management. This study estimated agronomic parameters related to nitrogen status in flooded rice, total above-ground biomass (AGB), leaf nitrogen content (LNC), leaf area index (LAI), and productivity, using a multispectral UAV sensor and a proximal optical reflectance sensor (Crop Circle), compared to traditional sampling in experimental plots. Simple and multiple linear regressions were applied. Field sensor data achieved coefficients of determination (R²) of 0.89 and 0.85 for LNC and LAI, respectively. The growing stage significantly affected the performance of vegetation indices, whereas rice variety had no significant impact. Model performance varied with phenological stage, with AGB, LNC, and LAI best estimated during the reproductive stage, and yield during grainfilling. Effective results were also obtained when combining all stages. UAV-based analysis proved a promising alternative, overcoming satellite cloud cover limitations, offering high cartographic accuracy, historical records over larger areas, and shorter operational time compared to field optical sensors and traditional methods.
Cenários futuros para Amazônia (Amacro): entre 2023 e 2103
(2025) Frazão, Ana Paula Rodrigues Feitosa; Santos, Sophia Victoria; Ferreira, Manuel Eduardo
The study evaluates future scenarios of land use and land cover in the region known as AMACRO, which is a focus of deforestationin the states of Amazonas, Acre and Rondônia. The models start in 2023 and project a scenario for 2103, based on the use and coverage of MapBiomas, in addition to adopting morphometric variables of the relief, such as slope and proximity to anthropic areas. Three types of scenarios were developed: Conservative, Moderate and Pessimistic, differentiated by the degree of influence exerted by agricultural and pasture areas. The results indicate a significant reduction in vegetation (322,624 km² in the pessimistic scenario) and the expansion of agricultural areas, especially in the pessimistic scenario. The validation of the models indicated high performance (accuracy of 0.954). Quantitative and spatial analyses highlight the risks of degradation and highlight the need for conservation and land use planning strategies.
