An interesting highlight was the performance of Brazilian women at the Paris Olympics, where they won all three gold medals (four great athletes: Beatriz Souza, Rebeca Andrade, and the beach volleyball duo Duda and Ana).

It´s flabbergasting that 60% of all medals won were also won by women. In the United States, 26 of the 40 gold medals won, or 65%, were also won by women. Here in Brazil, women have increasingly become protagonists in our Tropical Agri Olympics, where Technology, Overcoming Productivity, environmental challenges and climate change are demands similar to the high Olympic rigors. Our Agri Warriors stand out for accelerating innovation, their commitment to succession, and their extreme concern for the environment, animal welfare, entrepreneurship, and cooperatives. Fortunately, in each Brazilian region, a group of women in agriculture is emerging, and the 9th National Congress of Women in Agribusiness will take place on October 23 and 24, a proposal by Brazilian women in agriculture – A voice for the world.

Brazilian researchers will be highlighted, showing the impact of their researches on the entire planet; while cooperatives will highlight their global presence, and the goal of doubling the size of agriculture in the next 12 to 15 years will be discussed with national and international leaders.

Mr. Carlos Fávaro, our Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply, has already confirmed his presence and will bring part of his female team to the event that will take place at the Transamerica Expocenter, on October 23 and 24 of this year, in the capital of São Paulo, Brazil.

In other words, the protagonism of women in the Olympics and, in the same way, increasingly in the Agri Olympics, where production and productivity records need to be surpassed with each harvest and rotation of livestock, is simply fantastic. And all of this is under the Olympic Ethics of sustainability.

Congratulations to the Brazilian Olympic athletes, especially women.

Agriculture is increasingly becoming a global Olympic competition, including the fight against hunger, social inequality, and the planet's health as a single concept.

Congratulations to the Brazilian Agri Women – A voice for the world!

Seguimos no jornal Eldorado nesta coluna agroconsciente ouvindo as mensagens dos líderes do agronegócio para os planos dos candidatos à presidência da república do Brasil.

Em entrevista para o Estadão e também para nossa coluna Agroconsciente da Eldorado, o ministro da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento, Carlos Fávaro, afirma que meio ambiente, preservação, sustentabilidade, práticas sociais formam o futuro inexorável do agronegócio doravante.

No editorial do Estadão de 12/10, aliás dia do engenheiro agrônomo, nossos parabéns a essa fundamental categoria; o título fala da “prudência do agronegócio”, onde nem o lulopetismo e o bolsonarismo interessam, pois não se comportam com uma visão estratégica de longo prazo e terminam afogados nos compromissos partidários e ideológicos.
Marcelo Luders, presidente do Instituto Brasileiro de Feijão e Pulses (Ibrafe), traz da Argentina uma notícia preocupante, onde a Câmara de Legumes Argentina registrou que esta safra tem as maiores perdas de 10 anos. Falta de chuvas com várias geadas consecutivas, e adicionam “podemos ter certeza de que a colheita resultará num fracasso completo”.
