ENVIRONMENTAL LAW VS. AGRIBUSINESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE LAW IN THE FACE OF THE REALITY OF AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES IN BRAZIL

Abstract

Agribusiness is responsible for a large part of the Brazilian economy, such functions are essential for the maintenance of society. However, agribusiness is only possible through the environment and natural resources, a relationship that is often out of balance. Agricultural activity plays a fundamental role in food production, employment and economic development, however, its practices often have impacts on the environment. The environment is responsible for providing natural resources (soil-water-biodiversity), however, misuse of these resources can lead to deforestation, scarcity, soil erosion, water pollution, climate change and risks to human health. Agribusiness is essential for human subsistence, as well as the Brazilian economy, but it is necessary to have a balance in the use of natural resources. The importance of adequate supervision is highlighted to ensure that agricultural activities comply with environmental laws and regulations.
