According to a UN report “World Population Prospects: 2012 Review” [21], the world population will reach 9.6 billion by 2050. In addition, there are estimates that overall life expectancy should increase in developed and under-development countries in the coming years. At the rate humanity uses ecological resources and services today, we would need a planet and a half to renew them. If we continue at this pace, we will need two planets before we reach the middle of the 21st century.
In order to meet the demands that arise among consumers, the industry has been developing, along with governments, initiatives targeting healthiness, that is, healthy food production, but will this be enough?
Nowadays, Brazil is the world’s second largest food producer by volume, accounting for 40% of the increase in world production over the coming decades. According to the Financial Times, Brazil could to be the world’s largest food producer by 2025. In this scenario, the global impact of agribusiness, as it develops agrifood systems from the field to the consumers’ tables, results from thousands of constraints, including climate, that converge to millions of rural settlements on Earth’s continents and where science and technology, associated to the markets, become animal and plant products and substantiate the offers of the forestry sector.
And as part of this process, Brazil’s greatest challenge is to promote sustainable agriculture, to systematize food production and distribution, and to encourage the world’s leading producers and exporters of agricultural products.
Stage of major international discussions involving the environment, such as ECO-92 (United Nations Conference on Environment and Development) and RIO + 20 (United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development), Rio de Janeiro will again be responsible for contributing to another great discussion involving environmental and international agribusiness issues with the RIO + AGRO.
The permanent Forum held in Rio de Janeiro, focused on agribusiness innovation, will attract the attention of all the most important countries in the world. The forum will also seek to show the potential of a new model of agriculture and cattle-raising that the State of Rio de Janeiro is building, which is based on adding value to products, determining their geographical origin, traceability, diversification, increased income, and poverty reduction in cities. In addition, Rio de Janeiro is a cosmopolitan metropolis that offers great tourist conditions and national and international mobility, as well as the traditional carioca hospitality.
One of the goals of RIO + AGRO is to discuss a global action agenda that will serve as a platform for taking advantage of cutting-edge scientific, technological, and digital innovations. Moreover, together and collaboratively we aim to answer some questions:
Located in the heart of PORTO MARAVILHA, with an area of 40 thousand square meters and overlooking the Guanabara Bay and the Museum of Tomorrow, PIER MAUÁ will host the forum and the business forum. Warehouses 2 and 3, which have 3,500 m² each, will be used, meeting the demand for circulation of up to 10,000 people a day.
Machines, implements, intelligent systems, satellitization, desalination, big data for simulation and prediction of agricultural risks, artificial intelligence, automation.

STARTUP ZONE
The purpose of the RIO + AGRO STARTUP ZONE is to lead the agribusiness chain audience through the construction of an immersive journey about innovations and the latest technological advances. Interaction and dynamism will be the keywords of this process, thinking of this, we elaborated some actions with the following objectives:
With assertive, dynamic, and interactive actions RIO + AGRO 2021 is brought closer to its target audience not only during the forum, but throughout the year. The idea is, when it comes to innovation for the agribusiness chain, to think of RIO + AGRO 2021.
Based on this, we structured the curatorial planning of some actions involving the
pre-, peri-, and post-forum periods, as follows:
The Rio + Agro Innovation Challenge is a startup competition with validated business models and solutions applicable to the agribusiness chain. In this action, the goal is to provide the winning startups with the opportunity to be an exhibitor at RIO + AGRO 2021, where they can present their solutions and initiatives to other companies and public in a space completely dedicated to them, the RIO + AGRO STARTUP ZONE.
The ODS GLOBAL HACKING aims to bring RIO + AGRO 2021 closer to millennials. Through multidisciplinary teams, we will discuss key issues that address the main 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and through a marathon we will challenge them to work collaboratively to develop activities in search of innovative solutions to real problems.
In addition to startups, the Rio + Agro Startup Zone will also host Rio + Agro.Talks, an exclusive space that will be the venue for lectures with guests and experts; thus, promoting interaction through technology.
The idea is for visitors to have thought-provoking insights and a 360 degree immersion in the key technologies surrounding agribusiness chains.
