The document discusses agriculture innovation and social inclusion in Brazil. It summarizes how Brazil's Bolsa Familia program provides cash transfers to families living in poverty, helping to double the number of families covered from 2004 to 2009. It also discusses improvements in child mortality, health, and declines in fertility from health and social policies. The document outlines growth in harvested area, production, and meat industries from the 1990s to 2000s. It then discusses various agriculture innovations in Brazil around crop varieties, post-harvest processing, no-tillage farming, and their economic and social impacts.

Bolsa Família Program – PBF Cash transfer to families living in poverty (monthly per capita income of R$ 70 - R$ 140) and in extreme poverty (monthly per capita income of up to R$ 70). Part of the Zero Hunger strategy. From 2004 to 2009, the Program doubled the number of families covered by it, from 6.6 million to 12.4 million families altogether.
