    Agriculture influences and shapes the world’s ecosystems, but not always in a positive way. More than 2.5 billion people are globally involved as stewards of land and water ecosystems that constitute the natural resource base for feeding the current and future world population. Yet, conventional agronomic interventions based on ‘hard’ agricultural engineering compromise various eco-services that are required for sustainable agricultural development.

    A história da agricultura mundial no último meio século tem sido, sobretudo, a história de transformações produtivas, impulsionadas pela ciência e pela intensificação tecnológica, e a resultante expansão da capacidade produtiva, pari passu com o crescimento da demanda de alimentos.

    This brief explores the reform of land tenure institutions which re-emerged in the 1990s, and asks if these reforms are any more gender sensitive than those of the past?The paper highlights that a focus of the recent reforms has been on land titling, designed to promote security of tenure and stimulate land markets. The reforms have often been driven by domestic and external neoliberal coalitions, with funding from global and regional organisations which have argued that private property rights are essential for a dynamic agricultural sector.

    La vinculación de los pueblos indígenas al mercado global es una realidad y en ella se configuran estrategias de apropiación del conocimiento tradicional, sin que medie norma alguna que permita restituir los derechos que ostentan los poseedores de dichos conocimientos, en tanto que las poblaciones indígenas vienen solicitando un sistema sui generis para su protección y vinculación equitativa en dichos mercados.

    A large number of governance interventions are being developed in order to reduce deforestation and enhance the sustainability of commodity

    supply chains across the tropics. The extent to which individual agricultural commodity supply chain interventions can achieve scale, and

    environmental or social objectives, depends in part on the ways in which those interventions interact with other interventions. We use a casestudy

    of the new Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN) cattle certification program in Brazil to explore the different ways in which governance

    Key Messages

    • A governance approach, combining public policy and private initiatives was effective in slowing down deforestation, but

    was unable to support a transition to more sustainable production systems.

    • New technical intensification models must be identified for low-productivity systems in degraded lands, adapted to the

    biophysical and sociotechnical conditions of the Amazonian landscapes.

    • Multiple constraints inhibit progress toward sustainable intensification of cattle ranching, and reversing them requires that

    Malnutrition costs the world trillions of dollars, but global commitment to improving people’s nutrition is on the rise, and so is our knowledge of how to do so. Over the past 50 years, understanding of nutrition has evolved beyond a narrow focus on hunger and famine. We now know that good nutrition depends not only on people’s access to a wide variety of foods, but also on the care they receive and the environment they live in. A number of countries and programs have exploited this new understanding to make enormous strides in nutrition.

    Mudanças importantes ocorreram no cenário político institucional e nas dinâmicas sociais nos últimos vinte anos no Brasil. O marco inicial destas transformações pode ser fixado a partir da promulgação da nova Constituição que rege o tecido jurídico e societário brasileiro na atualidade. Todavia, fixar uma marca temporal é sempre complicado quando se trata de entender os pro‑ cessos sociais e suas mudanças, especialmente quando sabemos das interfaces entre passado e presente.
