ABSTRACT
The present work addresses the issue of Brazil as a precursor of the 4th
agricultural revolution. It is a matter of extreme need, since even being
played as an exponent in the production of grains and animal protein,
respecting all environmental protocols, much is said against Brazilian
agribusiness and rural producers. This is a theoretical essay based on field
studies and analysis of situations observed and described by technicians,
extension workers, producers, scientists and researchers linked to the
agricultural area. The general objective is to clarify the revolutionary
dimension of Brazilian agricultural production and the pioneering spirit of
individuals who work, directly and indirectly, in the field. Brazil has been
showing itself, for more than half a century, as a major producer of
agricultural products, commodities, technologies, innovation and development,
making use of what is most elementary in its epistemic evolutionary achievement
in the agricultural sector: the search for knowledge of objects about which it
focuses, namely, nature, soil, plants, climate, animals and microorganisms and
their respective behaviors in response to the management applied to them. This
makes it an exporter, in addition to consumer goods, of pioneering
technologies, which result in higher productions and with a greater positive
impact on the environment and the consumer population.
Keywords: Brazilian agricultural production; Agribusiness; Agricultural Revolution; innovation in knowledge and technological development.
