Bioeconomy & Biodiversity Bioeconomy Policy Analysis
Brazil has a priviledged
location in a tropical zone,
with high levels of solar
energy, proper rainfall
levels and large reserves of
land, which enables the
planning of the agriculture
on sustainable bases,
without compromising
major territorial biomes.
Brazil shelters 15 to 20 % of
global biodiversity,
disposes of the greatest
number of endemic species
and is one of the most
important mega-diverse
countries in the world.
The Brazilian biodiversity - the world's largest - is a strong asset
in the setting of the global Bioeconomy
