At a ministerial meeting on the 2023/2024 Crop Plan, the Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, Carlos Fávaro, stressed that low-carbon agricultural technologies will guide rural credit policies. “The 2023/2024 Crop Plan will have low-carbon agriculture as its main line,” he said.

The idea is that the Crop Plan has positive conditions so that producers who adhere to sustainable practices can have better financing conditions. According to the federal government, the Crop Plan 2023/2024 will combine the financing of agricultural technologies in several areas with the sustainability of production. The incentive can range from access to technical assistance practices to the granting of bonuses.

The use of bioinputs and incentives for regenerative agriculture must be present in the Crop Plan, said Minister Paulo Teixeira, of Agrarian Development and Family Farming. “The transition to regenerative agriculture is a challenge that we cannot postpone, we have to respond immediately”, he said.
