Degradação Ambiental Agropecuária na América Latina: Uma Abordagem de Índices nos Países da Região

The changes occurring in the environment accompany the evolution of the human being as a social being. However, some of these changes have been causing problems for society. In this context, environmental degradation appears as a great challenge for several countries. A set of causes is pointed out...
