Risk and Its Management in the Agricultural and Food Industries in Emerging Economies: The Case of Brazil

Abstract

The study aimed to examine the Brazilian government’s approach to climate change and deforestation issues, in addition to the types of international relationships formed from these issues.

In the 21st century, climate change is a major global problem. Nearly 50% of ­Brazil’s GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions originate from land use conversion. This includes the agricultural sector, which accounts for nearly 80% of emissions. In contrast, emission sources differ in developed countries. Therefore, we consider the drivers of emission sources of emerging countries.
