Freight transportation in Brazil is highly dependent on highways. Roads account for about 60% of the total charge moved in Brazil, while ln other countries of continental size, such participation is less than 30%. The high average age of the heavy-duty feet and the inefficient infrastructure of road transportation (such as the low-density and the poor quality of highways) weaken the susta…
The sustainability of the future is everyone's concern, but achieving sustainable systems is many parts of society is confounded with the dissonance between policy and regulation enacted at the national and international scale, solutions that are applied at the local-scale, and interpretation of each of these occuring again at national and internacional scales. To reduce, or eliminate, th…
The limitation of natural resources such as land and water, can impose serious difficulties for food production to meet population growth and ensure food security over the coming years. In addition to the traditional ways of increasing production and productivity of crops, food availability can be enhanced through reductions of a series of losses that occur along their supply chain. Howev…

Given the large economic and social impact of traffic accidents in Brazil, the expected increase of this impact in the medium term, the proven effectiveness of speed control measures to reduce traffic accidents, the frequent use of some of these measures in Brazil, the lack of studies on the economic impact of these measures in Brazil and the inapplicability of cost-benefit analyzes condu…

Several international studies indicate that global food production will need to increase about 70% to be able to feed the population by 2050. Facing limited natural resources such as arable land, water, energy and raw materials, there may be a number of difficulties for food production to attend this demand. In this scenario, the increase in agricultural productivity has been a continuous…
