The analyses seek to contribute to formulating better agricultural policies in Brazil.

CPI/PUC-Rio’s research shows that rural credit is essential for financing Brazilian agriculture and is fundamental for increasing productivity and improving land use. It can also contribute to adopting more sustainable practices and fulfilling Brazil’s conservation objectives. Aligning economic and technological development with environmental protection is possible.
