Brazilian farmers value the soil microbiome, adopting biological solutions for greater sustainability and resilience on farms.
In the Brazilian scenario, the sustainability process has become an imperative for those who work with the land. Today, attention is moving beyond conventional methods, and many are investing in practices that benefit the soil microbiome. These biological solutions not only improve soil health, but also promote greater resilience, making agricultural practices more sustainable. long-term.
Os producers Brazilian farmers are leading this movement by integrating techniques that favor soil microbiological life on their properties. This ensures not only more stable productivity, but also the preservation of natural resources. By adopting this approach, farms are able to balance productivity with environmental responsibility, thus ensuring a more harmonious future between agriculture and sustainability. Promoting sustainable agricultural practices is essential to maintaining the health of the planet and future generations.
This group of producers does not see the soil as just a simple support base for the development of agricultural crops. Instead, they consider it a complex and dynamic ecosystem, where biological interactions play a key role in the health and productivity of crops. Among the many innovations that are transforming this notion, the concept of soil microbiome deserves to be highlighted for its significant impact.

The Role of the Soil Microbiome in Sustainability
The solution provided by Microgeo is a concrete example of how agricultural producers are adopting biological management that provide positive results not only in the short term, but also contribute to the long-term sustainability of their activities. Claudia Liciane Sulzbach, who is the owner of Fazenda Laruna located in the municipality of Balsas, in Maranhão, stands out as one of these progressive farmers who have invested in sustainable practices. On her 1.700-hectare property, where she grows soybeans and corn, she shares how biological solutions, especially through the use of Microgeo®, have been transforming their relationship with the soil.
'I started using Microgeo® after attending an event in 2023 that fascinated me. It changed my perception of how I manage my farm. What I saw there was the vibrant presence of life in the soil, something I have always aspired to for my property', says Claudia. She believes that the vitality and richness of organic matter in the soil, demonstrated by a producer who already used the solution, are differentials that, in addition to improving productivity, protect your farm from climate impacts. Claudia sees sustainable practices as something that transcends the results of a single harvest; she considers biological management a strategy to strengthen the soil and production over the years.
Sustainability as a Priority
'The use of sustainable solutions is an undisputed priority for me. In the long term, I see that this management with Microgeo® is an effective way to prepare the soil to face climate adversities. It is not a change that is observed from one year to the next, but rather a continuous approach to mitigate climate impacts and production adversities', says the producer. In addition, the use of Microgeo® brings practical savings: the product can be applied together with other products, such as defensive, eliminating the need for an exclusive application and thus reducing the production cost. Claudia mentions that this financial advantage helps maintain sustainability as a priority, even when it is necessary to review production costs.
'When planning the harvest, I already know where I can and cannot save. But I never give up on management practices that strengthen the soil. This is essential to produce correctly and sustainably', she emphasizes. In addition to sustainability, Claudia highlights the growing importance of technology in the field and the role of women in agribusiness. She is part of the Agro Mulher Mais Network, a collective of women in agriculture that promotes events, discussions and even a podcast to share experiences and debate relevant issues. 'I see that we are managing to position ourselves and show the value we bring to the agricultural sector. I always tell women not to be afraid to take their place.'
Female Empowerment in Agribusiness
Working with humility, courage and seeking knowledge is the key to success', shares Claudia. The use of biological solutions such as Microgeo® represents a crucial transformation in Brazilian agribusiness, where be careful with the soil is now perceived as a strategic investment. The search for alternatives that reduce environmental impact and preserve soil life goes beyond annual results. This practice not only improves crop performance, but also strengthens farm resilience in a scenario of climate changes and limited resources.
For Claudia, taking care of the soil with awareness and innovation is the path that will allow future generations to continue producing responsibly. 'Rich, fertile and well-worked soil is the first step to facing an El Niño, for example, with greater confidence and to ensure that agriculture in Brazil continues to grow in a sustainable manner', she concludes, highlighting the importance of strategic investments for the future of agribusiness.
