The Cerrado and Caatinga biomes have the largest available stock of land for agricultural expansion in Brazil, besides having vast areas of high solar and wind potential. Their natural resources are also vital for climate regulation and for human survival and well-being.

Today's global socio-environmental challenges place unprecedented demands on natural and social sciences to understand and forecast a tightly interconnected world.
