Alternativas sustentáveis para mitigar a dependência brasileira de fertilizantes importados: uma análise bibliométrica

Abstract

Brazil has been one of the world's largest consumers of fertilizers, being the destination for 8% of global production, behind only the leaders China, India and the United States. Of the quantity used in agricultural production, 85% is imported, which reveals a huge dependence on the international market, incurring two risks for our economy. The first of these is the interruption of the supply of this input, which could compromise our agricultural production. The second concerns the climate impact caused by anthropogenic emissions linked to fertilizers, which can also affect our economy. In order to obtain solutions for this situation, a Systematic Literature Review was carried out using the Methodi Ordinatio Protocol in the Scopus and Web of Science databases with the aim of mapping the state of the art of scientific production that answered the question “What Are the alternatives to reduce, in a sustainable way, dependence on fertilizer imports?” Through a bibliometric analysis, 72 articles were located that provided proposals for the guiding question of this Work, which were produced over 20 years, published in 55 journals and written by 310 authors.
