A farmdoc Journey in Brazil

Joana Colussi organized a trip to Brazil for a research project on technology adoption among farmers. The team, including Gary Schnitkey, Nick Paulson, and Eric Morgan, visited various agricultural showcases, ethanol plants, farms, and businesses in Brazil. They learned about the agricultural practices and potential for expansion in the country, particularly in the state of Mato Grosso. The team also discussed logistical challenges, the role of innovation and technology in Brazilian agriculture, and the legal reserve requirements for landowners to preserve native vegetation. They highlighted the importance of sustainable farming practices and the scale of operations in Brazil.
