3rd international congress on agricultural and environmental sciences

The proceedings of the 3rd International Congress of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CICAA 2021) compile academic contributions aimed at the analysis, applied research and innovation on climate change and sustainable agricultural production. The event, conducted online, brought together researchers, teachers, students and professionals from various disciplines related to agricultural, environmental and agroforestry sciences, with the purpose of socializing research results, case studies and technical experiences developed in rural, urban and peri-urban contexts. The presentations are organized into agricultural, agroforestry, environmental and livestock areas, addressing areas such as agrobiodiversity, food sovereignty and security, agroecology, sustainable management of soils and water resources, biodiversity, resilient production systems, ecosystem services, climate change, agricultural technologies, rural economy and territorial development. Methodologically, the contributions integrate experimental approaches, field studies, multivariate analysis, biological and environmental characterization, as well as proposals for technological innovation and sustainable management. The proceedings reflect an articulation between science, territory and society, highlighting the importance of sustainable production systems, the conservation of natural resources and the adaptation of agricultural production to contemporary environmental challenges in local, regional and Latin American scenarios.
