Resumo: Although the main indicators of poverty and extreme poverty are associated with daily per capita income, poverty in its expanded concept is not limited to income but also the extension human capacities. The increase in human capacities can promote the expansion of productivity and the power to earn income, making hardships rarer and less chronic. Hence, reducing poverty means raising income, but also providing the means to defend human rights, access to different basic services, and the enhancement of human capacities. Understanding this scenario is essential so that priority lines can be established for the feasibility of research, development, and innovative solutions for agriculture sustainability, to benefit Brazilian society, focusing on regions or social groups in situations of poverty and extreme poverty, and when facing global climate change. Embrapa is recognized as a provider of new technologies and processes, as well as qualified information to support decisions in agriculture and expand human capabilities.
