Na semana passada, tive a honra de encerrar o dia de palestras do #eAgro, um dos principais eventos agropecuários do país, realizado em Salvador. Minha apresentação trouxe um tema que considero essencial para o futuro do campo e das próximas gerações: #AgriculturaSustentável. Abordei como as abelhas, além de serem agentes essenciais para a biodiversidade, podem ser protagonistas em práticas agrícolas mais produtivas e sustentáveis. O trabalho da Bee2Be, nesse contexto, tem mostrado que é possível integrar o cuidado com o meio ambiente, o desenvolvimento social das comunidades e a geração de valor econômico, formando um tripé sustentável que beneficia todos os elos da cadeia. Foi gratificante ver a recepção calorosa e o engajamento do público, que compartilha da visão de que o futuro do agronegócio precisa ser construído com respeito à natureza e compromisso com as pessoas. Agradeço à organização do #e-Agro pela oportunidade de contribuir com esse debate tão necessário. Seguimos juntos, mostrando que sustentabilidade é, sim, um bom negócio!  #Sustentabilidade #Agronegócio #Bee2be #Polinização #EAgro2024 *************** Last week, I had the privilege of concluding the day’s presentations at #e-Agro, one of Brazil’s premier agribusiness events, held in Salvador. My talk focused on a topic I believe is fundamental to the future of generations to come: #SustainableAgriculture. I explored how bees, beyond being vital to biodiversity, can take center stage in driving more productive and sustainable farming practices. At Bee2Be, we’ve shown that it’s possible to harmonize environmental stewardship, social development, and economic value creation into a sustainable framework that benefits every link in the value chain. It was truly rewarding to experience the enthusiastic response and engagement from the audience, who share the vision that the future of agribusiness must be built on respect for nature and a commitment to people. My gratitude to the #e-Agro organizers for the opportunity to contribute to this important discussion. Together, we’re proving that sustainability isn’t just good for the planet—it’s good for business too! #Sustainability #Agribusiness #Bee2be #Pollination #EAgro2024
