Brazil: Ag Power

On our recent visit to Brazil we had the opportunity to visit the Ministry of Agriculture in Brasilia. We were able to learn about the products produced and agriculture practices in Brazil. There is no doubt that Brazil is a leader in agriculture and has great growth potential. We encourage you to look over the linked document that was shared with us in Brazil and utilize the discussion points provided to guide your conversations around the globe!

Brazil Agriculture

Discussion Points

• As you look over the slides which slide surprised you the most and why? 
• Brazil is a major agriculture player with the opportunity to expand. Explain why this is the case.
• There is often a misconception that Brazil is destroying the environment. What is Brazil doing to protect and improve their environment? 
• Compare agriculture in Brazil to agriculture in your home country/region. Are the crops and livestock similar/different? Trade relations? Trends? Environmental laws and protection?
