A importância da política de inovação no desenvolvimento da agricultura brasileira

Abstract

(The Importance of Innovation Policy in the Development of Brazilian Agriculture). The recent discussions about the importance of national innovation policy for development have highlighted the needs of these incentives in the current context of agriculture. Climate change linked to the lack of dynamism of technology are leading to a scenario of restriction in Brazilian agriculture, if incentives are not guaranteed toward research to deal with both factors over the long run, as well as efforts to reduce the gap between business and universities or research institutes. At this juncture, the current policy instrument, the Sector Funds for Science and Technology (FSC & T) represents a vital strategy for sustainable development.
