O presente livro tem o intuito de fornecer uma base teórica prévia ao estudo do chamado Direito do Agronegócio, o qual tem se destacado no cenário jurídico atual, devido, entre outros fatores, à relevância que esse setor econômico adquiriu nas últimas décadas.

É por esse motivo que a presente obra pode ser bastante úti...
Um dos maiores desafios do agronegócio na contemporaneidade é conciliar a necessidade de incremento da produção de alimentos com os limites planetários, o desenvolvimento humano e os riscos inerentes à própria atividade desde o plantio até a comercialização. Diante de um cenário marcado pela complexidade, transnacionalização da produção de alimentos e interdependência global, a presente coletânea visa promover um debate qualificado entre o campo teórico e as experiências relevantes advindas da prática profissional no âmbito do direito do agronegócio, privilegiando abordagens que evidenciam os reflexos diretos e indiretos da regulação internacional ao longo da cadeia agroindustrial. "Direito, Regulação Internacional e Agronegócio" é uma obra abrangente que mergulha no contexto do setor do agronegócio, analisando como as questões de direito e regulação internacional impactam esse setor tão vital para a economia global e brasileira.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has become the recognized instrument to assess the ecological burdens and human health impacts connected with the complete life cycle (creation, use, end-of-life) of products, processes and activities, enabling the assessor to model the entire system from which products are derived or in which processes and activities operate. This volume introduces the major new book series LCA Compendium - The Complete World of Life Cycle Assessment. In this volume, the main drivers in the development of LCA are explored. The volume also discusses strengths and limitations in LCA as well as challenges and gaps, thus offering an unbiased picture of the state-of-the-art and future of LCA.

There can be little doubt that there are truly colossal challenges associated with providing food, fibre and energy for an expanding world population without further accelerating already rapid rates of biodiversity loss and undermining the ecosystem processes on which we all depend. These challenges are further complicated by rapid changes in climate and its additional direct impacts on agriculture, biodiversity and ecological processes. There are many different viewpoints about the best way to deal with the myriad issues associated with land use intensification and this book canvasses a number of these from different parts of the tropical and temperate world. Chapters focus on whether science can suggest new and improved approaches to reducing the conflict between productive land use and biodiversity conservation. Who should read this book? Policy makers in regional, state and federal governments, as well as scientists and the interested lay public.
A collection endowed with universal appeal, where allegorical tales about right and wrong, despair and redemption, are interlaced with troubling encounters and personal epiphanies
