The article analyzes agriculture and its planetary boundaries from biophysical and social aspects. It presents three agricultural production systems: conventional, sustainable and agroecological, and discusses their impacts on the use of natural resources and food production. The article begins by discussing industrial agriculture and its influence on environmental degradation and economic dependence on corporations. It presents the idea that humanity faces challenges in terms of sustainability and that a new paradigm of agricultural production is needed. The article discusses planetary boundaries, including climate change, biodiversity loss and the alteration of the nitrogen cycle. It presents the nine critical processes identified by Johan Rockström and Will Steffen and discusses the need to act to avoid ecological catastrophe. The paper presents the biophysical and social impacts of three agricultural production systems: conventional, sustainable and agroecological. It discusses the aspects of energy sources, nutrients, pest management, cultivars, tillage and crop rotation. The paper discusses agroecological principles, including diversification of agricultural systems, use of local and improved crop varieties, reduction of agrochemical use and promotion of diversified agricultural systems. The paper discusses agroecology as a sustainable approach to agricultural production. It presents the characteristics of agroecology, including diversification of agricultural systems, use of local and improved crop varieties, reduction of agrochemical use and promotion of diversified agricultural systems. The article concludes by discussing the need for a new paradigm of sustainable agricultural production and the importance of agroecology as an approach to agricultural production. It presents the characteristics of agroecology and discusses the possibility of a transition to a regenerative and sustainable economy. |
| Summary | Here is a summary of the article "Agriculture and its interpretation of planetary boundaries under biophysical and social aspects" by Eliane Alves da Silva, Eugenio Avila Pedrozo and Tania Nunes da Silva:
The article analyzes the interpretation that agriculture has of planetary boundaries under biophysical and social aspects. The authors present three agricultural production systems: conventional (Green Revolution), sustainable conventional and agroecology. Planetary boundaries include climate change, biodiversity loss, excessive use of nitrogen and phosphorus, water and soil pollution, and loss of fresh water. The authors also discuss the importance of biodiversity and its relationship with ecosystem resilience. The Green Revolution is an agricultural production system that is based on maximizing yield and reducing costs. It is an intensive system and relies heavily on technology and chemical inputs. The sustainable conventional system is less aggressive and uses more sustainable management practices, such as crop rotation and minimizing the use of chemical inputs. The agroecological system is the most sustainable and is based on crop diversity and the use of traditional management practices. The authors also discuss the importance of agroecology and its ability to overcome the limitations of conventional agricultural production systems. Agroecology is a system that is based on crop diversity and the use of traditional management practices, and aims to overcome the limitations of conventional agricultural production systems. In summary, the article presents a critical analysis of conventional, conventional-sustainable and agroecological agricultural production systems, and discusses the importance of agroecology as a sustainable alternative to conventional agriculture. |

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. In summary, the article appears to use a qualitative and qualitative approach, with a comparative analysis and an integration of biophysical and social systems. There is no evidence of the use of models, simulations or collaboration with experts. The research appears to have been carried out based on a literature review and data analysis. |
| Article contribution | The article "Agriculture and its interpretation of planetary boundaries under biophysical and social aspects" presents a critical analysis of conventional, sustainable and agroecological agricultural production systems, highlighting their biophysical and social impacts.
The contribution of this article to Regenerative Economics is the approach it presents to understand agriculture as a complex system that involves not only biological and technical aspects, but also social, economic and political ones. The article highlights the importance of considering the environmental and social impacts of agriculture at all levels, from food production to distribution and consumption. The author also presents a critique of the conventional approach to agriculture, which he considers limited and focused on maximizing production and economic efficiency, without considering the environmental and social consequences. Instead, the author advocates the agroecological approach, which prioritizes biodiversity, sustainability and social justice. The article also highlights the importance of international cooperation and the participation of farmers and rural communities in the development of sustainable solutions for agriculture. He also presents a critique of the conventional agricultural production system, which he considers to be based on a logic of market and consumerism, which does not consider environmental and social consequences. In terms of Regenerative Economics, the article highlights the importance of creating "local to global" economies that help bring all humanity into a safe and fair space. He also presents a critique of the conventional approach to economics, which he considers to be based on a logic of growth and maximization, without considering environmental and social consequences. In summary, the article presents a critical and reflexive approach to understanding agriculture as a complex system that involves not only biological and technical aspects, but also social, economic and political ones. He defends the agroecological approach and highlights the importance of international cooperation and the participation of farmers and rural communities in the development of sustainable solutions for agriculture. Specific contributions of the article to Regenerative Economics: 1. Critical and reflexive approach to understanding agriculture as a complex system. 2. Defense of the agroecological approach as a more sustainable and fair alternative for agriculture. 3. Highlighting the importance of international cooperation and the participation of farmers and rural communities in developing sustainable solutions for agriculture. 4. Criticism of the conventional agricultural production system and the conventional approach to economics. 5. Proposal to create "local to global" economies that help bring all humanity into a safe and fair space. Relevant references: * Raworth, K. (2018).
