Brazil has become an example of a food secure country and one the of world?s most important agricultural export countries. Mention should be made of the outstanding role played by the agricultural research technology developed by Brazilian research organizations, led by the agricultural research system encompassing agricultural universities, the Brazilian Agricultural Research Organization (EMBRAPA) and the state agricultural research organizations. This comprehensive executive summary outlines the future challenges and opportunities for the Brazilian agricultural sector in terms of science, technology and innovation, to keep agriculture improving its performance in a world that faces the enormous challenge of feeding a hungry population now and in the following decades. These challenges and opportunities were identified by a select group of highly qualified Brazilian researchers who have spent a lifetime generating and adapting new technology for the development of the Brazilian agriculture sector.  aFood and Human Nutrition  aFood security  aNutrição Humana  aSegurança Alimentar1 aRECH FILHO, E.
