A produção científica brasileira sobre a sustentabilidade no agronegócio: um recorte temporal entre 2005 e 2015

Abstract

Sustainability is currently one of the main topics of debate. The identification of how the scientific articles has approached this subject is relevant. Therefore, the objective of this article was to analyze the Brazilian scientific production on sustainability in agribusiness using the research of studies from between 2005 to 2015, selected in the sucupira platform in the national journals of Administration, Accounting and Tourism, with qualification in the strata of A1 to B3 by the Qualis Periódicos evaluation system of Capes (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Level Personnel), regarding the year 2014. The article is characterized as an exploratory study based on bibliographical research. From this, 47 papers distributed in 27 journals were selected, focusing on the central theme of the study and presenting contributions to the debate. The results indicate that sustainability in agribusiness, in its various activities and in the most varied regions of Brazil, has grown in scientific discussions, as well as in the development and application of indicators as the main focus of the selected works. We concluded that, despite the progress, there are many gaps still to be debated, such as the strong absence of sustainability in national agribusiness, as well as the need to adopt public policies and actions that allow for sustainable development of national agribusiness.
