Have you heard about our social and sustainability initiatives?

 

We are committed to ensuring that Agrishow has a positive impact on people and the planet. We want to play a key role in helping the entire agricultural community improve its sustainability, connecting people to the networks and knowledge they need to help solve the great challenges of the future.

 

Agrishow, the largest agricultural technology fair in Latin America, recognizes the importance of sustainability in its initiatives. For us, sustainability represents a commitment to both the present and the future, demonstrating our responsibility to promote an environmentally conscious, socially equitable, and economically viable world.

In agribusiness, which encompasses a broad scope of actors and activities crucial to the Brazilian economy and the future of upcoming generations, we face significant challenges regarding sustainability, including the increasingly large-scale production of food and other inputs with environmental balance and social development. We see these challenges as opportunities to unite the agricultural community in search of efficient solutions and a more resilient sector with more sustainable practices.

Agrishow aims to be a platform for discussing and developing the present and the future, strengthening a transformative movement in the industry, collectively building a sustainable scenario.

As part of our commitment, we are focused on three sustainability pillars

Artisan Producers Pavilion

To stimulate and value small producers, in partnership with the State of São Paulo government, the Artisan Producers Pavilion values family farming by giving space to small artisan producers who sell products such as cheese, honey, and charcuterie at the fair.

Meal Donations (MATCHFOOD)

In partnership with MatchFood and the El Dorado group, we will work on donating meals to 5 social institutions in the Ribeirão Preto region: Instituto Simplesmente Amor, Anjos da Rua, Associação Missão Filhos Pródigos, City Só Agradeço, and Grupo Ação Solidária RP.

AGRISHOW PRA ELAS (for women)

AWARD-WINNING PROJECT that has been around since 2021. Agrishow Pra Elas is an exclusive space with pleasant conversations and exchanges of experience among incredible women working in agriculture, aiming to value and stimulate women's participation in the sector.
