Summary: Science and technology are essential for sustainable development. Knowledge can generate changes in current patterns of development and contribute to poverty eradication. Science and its constant evolution have become a key resource for the generation of wealth, the reduction of social inequalities, and the improvement of quality of life in all its dimensions. In this context, Embrapa has dedicated resources for innovative studies in the areas of family farming, agribusiness, food security, fisheries, soil and water resources conservation, among others. Several more efficient technologies, such as improved cultivars and adapted production systems, are being developed and presented to Brazilian society.
