This study aimed to select the most appropriate meat traceability system "from farm to fork" applied to Brazilian pork production. The research used the results from a selection of the best on-farm livestock traceability using analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Then, the agents in the meat production chain where identified for building a framework with their defined role in the network. Results indicated that with an electronic traceability system it is possible to acquire better connections between the links in the chain and to provide the means for managing uncertainties by creating structures that facilitate information flow more efficiently.

With growing worldwide interest in the use of liquid biofuels in the transportation sector, ethanol is considered as one of the best alternatives. Rising oil prices, environmental concerns and interests in energy security have driven Brazilian researchers to look for biofuels production as a potential solution. Other driving forces are the need to stabilize commodity prices and to cut down on agricultural subsidies. This paper describes the analysis of Brazilian large-scale network of ethanol production and lead to issues which are related to the sustainable development indicators by studying the structural characteristics of the production chain through social network analysis (SNA). The result showed two structural indicators that monitor the growth of the production chain and also indicates sustainability. The increasing power of distributors is noticed by the increase of the degree of centrality and the strengthening of the chain, which is perceptible through the density evolution.

This paper uses the analytical hierarchy process for selecting indicators of sustainable development for supply chain. Three companies that are organized in a supply chain were studied and a questionnaire was answered with questions related to items which indicate relationship with environmental issues. Results indicated that the use of AHP was adequate in selecting the indicators.

The Brazilian Civil Construction Industry (CCI) undergoes into deep Technological Innovations processes. New materials, new equipment, modern management systems, new labor profile and the processes industrialization are breaking traditional methodologies. This sector has always used intensive and low professional qualification labor, undergoes changes that bring significant alterations, with consequent increase of unemployment. Another aspect to be considered due to innovation of this sector, is the constant use of materials such as Drywall - cardboard plaster plates, in use in this work since the sales stand up to its end generating, this way, a waste until then very little treated, however a generator of environmental impact which opposes the productive sustainability.

This paper studied the coffee bean production in Brazil and analyzed three ways of reducing the impact in the environment during production. The chosen ways were to optimize the use of water, energy and to reduce the use of agrochemicals. AHP was applied and the selected criteria were chosen based on current literature which enhanced on-farm coffee production. The sustainability of coffee production was considered to be dependent of production cost, market, quality and social impact. Two scenarios were built with the first using the traditional coffee production scheme, and the second applying reduction on the use of energy, water and agrochemicals. Both scenarios were compared and the results indicated that reducing the use of agrochemicals it may represent the highest positive impact in making the Brazilian coffee bean production more sustainable.

Brazil is the world' second largest producer of soybean (grain) and one of the largest exporters. Brazilian competitiveness is due to low production costs, resulting from the use of high technology, the scale and applied capital, and also inexpensive labor cost. These elements were considered within the scenario of soybean production in the county Lucas do Rio Verde, which is a stage of the project's action named Lucas do Rio Verde Legal, which was carried out in 2006-2010 in a partnership of private and government entities whose objective was to make the municipality, in Mato Grosso state, the first to have all its rural properties regulated in accordance with the National Forest Code and labor legislation. This study aims to present the ongoing studies for environmental compensation due to deforestation from crop planting, mainly soybean, corn and cotton in the municipality.
