Conciliando crescimento energético sustentável e segurança alimentar: Desafios da implantação de energia fotovoltaica em terras agrícolas no Brasil

Abstract

This study analyzed a challenge faced by Brazil: the
introduction of photovoltaic systems in its agricultural lands.
In this context, the research highlighted the need to explore
sustainable and innovative strategies to efficiently integrate
solar energy into Brazilian agribusiness, considering Brazil's
central role in global agribusiness and the importance of its
agricultural areas for the development of renewable energy
sources. The research addressed this issue by analyzing 4,741
peer-reviewed articles published in English, aiming to assess
the existence of public policies and regulations for
photovoltaic energy projects on Brazilian agricultural lands.
The results revealed a significant gap in this regard,
highlighting the absence of specific guidelines for the
regulation of photovoltaic plants in areas designated for
agricultural production. This lack of regulatory guidance was
identified as one of the main challenges for the sustainable
implementation of these projects. To overcome this barrier,
the study proposes promoting dialogues between the
government, rural producers, civil society, and the
photovoltaic sector, with the objective of formulating public
policies that promote the harmonious integration of
photovoltaic energy on agricultural lands. The study offers a significant contribution to the debate on the use of agricultural
lands in energy generation, emphasizing the importance of
solutions that reconcile agribusiness and the expansion of solar
energy, aiming at the sustainable development of Brazilian
agribusiness.
