Technology and Agribusiness – The Ethical Search for Increase Food Production

Abstract

Man found in agriculture an effective way to satisfy hunger and produce wealth, however, such implementation came at the expense of the health of the natural environment, directly impacting the natural cycle of seasons and climates and thus adversely affecting the entire planet earth. The problem of the present research lies in presenting techniques that may represent a common denominator between producing more and with quality, using less soil, concomitantly meeting the needs indicated in the 2030 agenda of the United Nations Organizations. With the advancement of research in the agribusiness sector, as well as the introduction of technology in agriculture, there is a potential means to find a balance between producing and protecting the natural environment. In this way, the present study is justified because the balance between producing and repairing the environment is the key to maintaining the planet for the next generations, in this sense, academic production is necessary to discuss techniques that bring producers, researcher and society in general. To this end, the methodology used was qualitative bibliographic research, in which books, scientific articles, as well as content available on virtual channels of various bodies that deal with the theme were used. In the end, it was possible to verify that the indiscriminate use of soil and agricultural inputs imply the depletion of natural resources, however, the implementation of technology in food production represents the way to sustainable production, preserving and repairing the environment.
