Feeding the World
Feeding the World documents the emergence of Brazil as an agricultural powerhouse during the second half of the twentieth century.
Agriculture's Energy
Thomas D. Rogers's history of a modernizing Brazil tracks what happened when a key government program,created in the 1970s by the nation's military regime, aspired to harness energy produced by sugarcane agriculture to power the country's economy. The National Alcohol Program, known as Proalcool, was a deliberate economic strategy designed to incentivize ethanol production and reduce gasoline consumption. As Brazil's capacity grew and as international oil shocks continued, the regime's planners doubled down on Proalcool. Drawing financing from international lenders and curiosity from other oil-dependent countries, for a time it was the world's largest oil-substitution and renewable-energy pr...
Productivity Growth in Agriculture
Increasing food prices have renewed concerns about long-term agricultural demand and supply in the global economy. This book looks at results, methods, and data on international agricultural productivity for a better understanding of long-run trends and the policies that determine them. By presenting an international assessment of total factor productivity growth in agriculture, including up-to-date empirical analysis for developed and developing countries and regions, it provides a response to the rising global scarcity of agricultural production. It is essential reading for researchers, poli.
Impactos Socioeconômicos da Expansão do Setor Sucroenergético: uma análise espacial dinâmica sobre o bem estar social no estado de São Paulo (2000-2008)
A avaliação dos impactos socioeconômicos é um tema relevante e controverso, principalmente quando se trata da expansão do setor sucroenergético. Esse livro, derivado da tese de doutorado que possui o mesmo título e foi realizada na ESALQ/USP, apresenta uma abordagem metodológica que permite avaliar os impactos socioeconômicos da expansão do setor sucroenergético através das variações do bem estar social, a qual foi aplicada aos municípios do Estado de São Paulo abrangendo o período de 2000 a 2008.Além de incorporar as sugestões da banca examinadora, o livro também traz alguns conteúdos adicionais: estimativa do efeito municipal, simulação contrafactual, mapas que permitem a visualização dos resultados, entre outros.Destinado primariamente a pesquisadores das áreas de economia, métodos quantitativos e/ou biocombustíveis, este livro também é de interesse de profissionais e empresas envolvidas no setor sucroenergético, formuladores de políticas públicas e organizações não governamentais.

Sugarcane ethanol
"Climate change is a challenge facing human life. It will change mobility and asks for new energy solutions. Bioenergy has gained increased attention as an alternative to fossil fuels. Energy based on renewable sources may offer part of the solution. Bio ethanol based on sugar cane offers advantages to people, the environment and the economy. Not surprisingly, governments currently enact powerful incentives for the development and exploitation of bio ethanol. However, every inch we come closer to this achievement, evokes more scepticism. Many questions are raised relating to whether sugar cane is really a sustainable solution. Still much is unknown about the net release of carbon dioxide and...
