Conab Participates in Juazeiro at the Brazilian Congress of Agroecology 2025, Highlighting Actions on Sustainability, Biodiversity, and Food Security in Bahia in Partnership with UNIVASF
The Brazilian Congress of Agroecology 2025 arrives in Juazeiro, Bahia, from October 15 to 18, gathering researchers, public managers, and representatives of social movements at the Multi-Events Complex of the Federal University of the Valley of São Francisco (UNIVASF).
The event, which will be held in-person, is solidifying its position as one of the most important spaces for the exchange of experiences and discussions on sustainable production in the country, according to a news article published.
Conab (National Supply Company) is present at the meeting with its Director of Agricultural Policy and Information, Sílvio Porto, reinforcing the institutional commitment to agroecological practices and integrated public policies.

Alone, the producer applies 7,400 hectares with the T100 drone in an optimized structure, replaces the generator with a silent battery, and demonstrates how technology reduces costs, increases productivity, and even challenges the uniport in the field.
-
China banned the export of 22 tons of meat from Argentina.
-
JBS, founded by the Batista brothers, continues to conquer the world: entrepreneurs built a ‘factory in the desert’ creating 3,000 jobs.
-
With only 1% of Brazil’s territory, Santa Catarina has built one of the most competitive industrial parks in the country, with 64,000 companies, nearly 1 million jobs, and a growth rate of 5.3% while the national industry is practically stagnant.
During the program, the panel “Agroecology, Biodiversity and Food and Nutritional Sovereignty and Security: A Look from Public Policies” will be the highlight of Conab’s participation.
The theme emphasizes the importance of an inter-sectoral approach to connect agroecology to food security, biodiversity, and the sovereignty of rural territories in Brazil.
Public Policies and Organic Production Strengthen the Brazilian Congress of Agroecology 2025
The panel with Sílvio Porto aims to discuss the formulation and implementation of public policies focused on the sustainable management of agroecosystems and the conservation of biodiversity.
Conab operates directly with strategic programs such as the National Policy on Agroecology and Organic Production (PNAPO) and the National Food Supply Plan “Food on the Plate” (PLANAAB).
These initiatives are essential to bring family farmers closer to food security policies, ensuring that the population has access to healthy and pesticide-free food.
The presence of Conab’s Regional Superintendent in Bahia, Emanuel Carneiro, and master’s students from the Company in the Rural Extension course, enhances institutional representation at the event.
The Brazilian Congress of Agroecology 2025 thus becomes a conducive environment to strengthen cooperation networks and broaden the dialogue among universities, government, and civil society.
Biodiversity, Food Security, and Rural Sustainability in Focus
In addition to discussing biodiversity and rural sustainability, the Brazilian Congress of Agroecology 2025 will address the challenges faced by public policies such as PNAPO and the National Food and Nutritional Security Policy (PNSAN).
Among the main obstacles are institutional discontinuity and budgetary constraints, which hinder the full implementation of actions related to agroecology.
Even in the face of these challenges, the event reinforces the importance of integrating programs and actions in rural territories.
The proposal is to consolidate sustainable practices that balance production, environmental conservation, and food justice.
By actively participating in this process, Conab reaffirms its mission to promote food supply in a fair and sustainable manner, strengthening the link between the field and society.
