A. M.  aRegional reviewbR5 Productive capacity of Brazilian agriculture: a long-term perspective.h[electronic resource]  aLondon: Forsight Project on Global Food and Farming Futuresc2011  aThe overall objective of this study is to contribute to developing an approximate view of the productive capacity of Brazilian agriculture to meet the national requirements and contribute to the world supply of food, fibres and biofuel by 2030. Specifically, it addresses the following questions: (a) What is the outlook for Brazil´s agricultural production, harvested area, consumption and trade of main crops in the next 20 years? (b) How did agricultural production move spatially in the Brazilian territory during the 1978-2008 period? (c) Where should most of the expected production take place and how much land will be necessary to produce sustainably the estimated levels of production without affecting negatively the biodiversity? (d) What could be the impact of climate change on the estimated harvested area and production of major producing states? (e) What are the prospects to expand agricultural production via greater utilisation of irrigation? (f) What implications does the productive capacity of the country bring to Brazil´s public policy, technology generation and investments to enhance agricultural productivity and sustainable production in the medium and long term? These questions are addressed based on the following selected products: rice, wheat, edible beans, cassava, cotton, soybeans, maize, sugar cane, sorghum, coffee and cattle beef.  aAgricultura  aBrasil1 aTORRES, D.
