Food and Fuel
This book is a contribution of the authors to the food - fuel debate. During 2007 and 2008 several factors led to the food inflation problem: growing population, income distribution, urbanization, biofuel, social programs, production scarcity etc.. Biofuel got most of the blame for food inflation but its responsibility was only limited. There are several possibilities of solving the food inflation problem that are discussed this book. It explores the example of Brazil’s agricultural sector, where a quiet revolution occurred in the last 15 years. This development is leading to Brazil becoming one of the largest food exporters globally. This position will strengthen as an additional 100 mill...

Brazilian Crops in the Global Market

Social Change, Industrialization, and the Service Economy in São Paulo, 1950-2020
In the 1950s–80s, Brazil built one of the most advanced industrial networks among the "developing" countries, initially concentrated in the state of São Paulo. But from the 1980s, decentralization of industry spread to other states reducing São Paulo's relative importance in the country's industrial product. This volume draws on social, economic, and demographic data to document the accelerated industrialization of the state and its subsequent shift to a service economy amidst worsening social and economic inequality. Through its cultural institutions, universities, banking, and corporate sectors, the municipality of São Paulo would become a world metropolis. At the same time, given its rapid growth from 2 million to 12 million residents in this period, São Paulo dealt with problems of distribution, housing, and governance. This significant volume elucidates these and other trends during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, and will be an invaluable reference for scholars of history, policy, and the economy in Latin America.
História econômica e social do estado de São Paulo - 1950-2020
Nas décadas de 1950 a 1980 o Brasil construiu um dos mais avançados e integrados parques industriais dentre os chamados países "em desenvolvimento". De início, esse processo concentrou-se quase por completo no estado de São Paulo, mais precisamente na capital e seu entorno, a Região Metropolitana, principalmente na área conhecida como ABC paulista. O vertiginoso crescimento econômico e populacional resultante dessa expansão industrial moldou o tecido urbano. A partir dos anos 1980, o processo de descentralização das indústrias para outros estados reduziu a importância de São Paulo na produção industrial brasileira. Embora permanecesse como principal estado industrial, sua cap...
O agronegócio do algodão
Yamê Reis investiga, do ponto de vista sociológico, como podemos definir e estabelecer os parâmetros validadores do conceito de sustentabilidade na agroindústria do algodão, e que têm impacto na indústria da Moda. Essa questão é relevante na medida em que a maior parte do algodão produzido, consumido e/ou exportado tem certificações que asseguram sua sustentabilidade socioambiental, e o conceito de desenvolvimento sustentável é amplamente utilizado pelos setores produtivos para seu posicionamento e conquista de novos mercados. O atributo da sustentabilidade é apropriado pelos agentes econômicos do agronegócio do algodão como estratégia de conquista de mercado nacional e in...
