GAFFFF will hold a lecture on the impacts of global climate change on food production

On June 5th and 6th, 2025, Allianz Parque, in São Paulo, will host another edition of Global Agrobusiness Festival (GAFFFF), with different panels, which will bring discussions on the most varied subjects involving Brazilian and global agribusiness.

Moderating the discussions, alongside him, will be Suani Coelho, coordinator of the Bioenergy Research Group (GBIO) at the Institute of Energy and Environment (IEE) at USP.

In addition to raising questions about the climate impacts on Brazilian agricultural production, Paulo will share his perspective on productions that aim to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions…
