Descrição
Resumo:This article is aimed at analyzing the income and employment generation, energy consumption and CO2 emissions of the Brazilian Sugarcane Chain for the years of 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2014. To obtain those data, the energy and emissions matrices were compatibilized and disaggregated, according to Brazil's input-output matrix. In the evaluated period, the Sugarcane Chain, related to the Agribusiness, had a reduction in its share in GDP and in the number of employments, however, it showed gains in energy consumption and CO2 emissions, which are mostly from renewable sources.
