This paper reports on the basic information about the Brazilian input-output tables. First part presents the history of constructing I-O tables in Brazil, starting from the non-official table of 1959. The second part illustrates some basic features of the last table with the reference year of...

Through the use of input-output analysis tools, like backward and forward linkages (Hirschman-Rasmussen and Pure), it was possible to delineate which are the sectors that belong to the Brazilian Agribusiness. From the definition of the sectors and using the Brazilian input-output tables it was...

In order to estimate the potential impact of the adoption of the main techniques of precision agriculture in the Brazilian agriculture on socio economic development, this study used an extensive bibliographic review of the main results that the techniques of precision agriculture and simulated...
