Análise das mudanças na agropecuária do RS a partir dos censos agropecuários de 2006 e 2017

Abstract

This study aims to analyze changes in agriculture in Rio Grande do Sul, through an analysis of secondary data through the 2006 and 2017 Agricultural Census provided by IBGE. These data are divided into dimensions regarding the general characteristics of agricultural establishments, infrastructure of properties, characteristics of producers and information systems and management practices. The agricultural sector is one of the main sectors that move the economy of Brazil. Therefore, this analysis is important to identify if technological advances are arriving in this sector, and if it is managing to keep up with these innovations. Through this study, it is possible to verify issues such as the reduction of agricultural establishments in the State during this period, or even how the producer is adapting to new forms of soil preparation. It can also be seen that the leaders remain with a low level of education, which hinders access to information and management. Associated with this, the difficulties that the field faces for technologies such as the internet and cell phones to reach their homes are also analyzed. Finally, agribusiness is the one who sustains the state and the country, for this reason, it is essential that there are studies aimed at it in order to reveal its real situation.
