Summary: Agriculture is a vulnerable sector to the climate changes, and Brazil is one of the major contributor of greenhouse gases (GHSs). Thus, the implementation of effective strategies for both mitigation and adaptation to climate change for agriculture is very important for development and also to infer sustainability to the Brazilian agricultural sector. The ?low-carbon agriculture? aims to develop processes and technologies that promote mitigation of GHG emissions in agriculture and enable the adaptation of the agricultural sector to climate change. Thus, in Brazilian semiarid region, developing technologies with no-tillage systems concomitant with green manure and agrosilvopastoral systems are adapted to climatic conditions to infer sustainability in the livestock and agricultural sectors.
