João Paulo Tavares, Presales Director Latam at Semantix, suggests a broader approach to the ESG theme, exploring actions that can generate positive impacts on society, beyond traditional topics such as carbon emissions, clean energy, and recycling. In this article, we present three areas where lesser-discussed ESG initiatives can be equally significant for building a more sustainable future.

Family Farming: Driving Sustainable Development

Family farming plays a crucial role in food production in Brazil. Data from IBGE indicates that 70% of the food consumed in the country comes from this sector. Investing in family farming can generate significant social and economic impact, improving the quality of life for millions of people and driving sustainable development by promoting food security, job creation, and biodiversity preservation.

To address the challenges of the educational sector in Brazil, it is essential to integrate financial education, technology, and sustainability into school curricula. Furthermore, access to technology and quality internet remains a challenge in many areas of the country, especially in rural regions and low-income communities. Investing in digital inclusion projects, technological infrastructure, and data can contribute to the economic and social development of these areas and reduce inequalities.

Artificial Intelligence and Sustainability: A Powerful Combination

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform the way we approach sustainability by optimizing the consumption of energy, water, and materials in various sectors. With applications in resource optimization, environmental risk forecasting, smart agriculture, renewable energies, and biodiversity monitoring, AI can be an essential tool for addressing environmental and social challenges, aiding in the construction of a more sustainable and resilient future.

By expanding our understanding of ESG and exploring lesser-discussed initiatives, we can generate positive impacts beyond the conventional and contribute to building a more sustainable and just future for all.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

Hyundai Creta 2029 appears in new spy shots with a completely revamped design, a more modern digital interior, a larger multimedia center, a more comfortable passenger seat, and electrification finally on the radar.

Former CIA analyst warns that China has already surpassed the US in missiles, electronic warfare, cyber, and military production, transforming the Pacific into a zone without safe spaces while Washington clings to its submarine advantage.

Home-built airplane by a Minas Gerais engineer uses car parts, such as a power window motor for the flaps and a tachometer on the dashboard. The project took six years, and the aircraft has autonomy to fly up to seven hours non-stop.
