The FoodTech 500 2025 report shows that sustainability in agriculture has entered a new phase: less narrative, more data, traceability and climate intelligence. In this article, we explore the key signals emerging from the global FoodTech ecosystem and what they reveal about the future of dairy production.

Heloise Duarte’s and ESGpec’s journey was featured in I AM’s Editais com Café series, highlighting how grants, funding programs and accelerators can support the growth of impact startups in agribusiness. The article shows how ESGpec connects science, technology, data and sustainability to help modernize Brazilian dairy farming.

Brazilian livestock production enters 2025 facing a new global landscape shaped by climate pressure, market demands, and technological advances. This material explores how topics such as emissions reduction, animal welfare, artificial intelligence, biodiversity, traceability, and carbon markets are redefining competitiveness and sustainability in the livestock sector.

Are carbon markets maturing or simply changing their narrative? Based on recent discussions around offsets, insetting, and Scope 3, this article explores why dairy production will increasingly depend on reliable data, traceability, and real emission reductions before talking about carbon credits.

Sustainability in dairy farming does not depend only on isolated good practices, but on coordination among farmers, technicians, processors, markets and public policies. When each link in the chain understands its role, data stops being fragmented records and becomes a foundation for better decisions, value creation and stronger competitiveness across the dairy sector.

Sustainability in dairy farming depends on building green business ecosystems, where producers, industries, and markets operate in an integrated way. Beyond adopting best practices, the key challenge is measuring, standardizing, and connecting data. In this context, solutions like ESGpec enable the transformation of farm data into strategic indicators, supporting decision-making, market access, and real decarbonization strategies.

The Despertar Regenerativo initiative launches a new phase with MilkPoint, providing dairy farmers with free digital tools to measure carbon footprint, animal welfare indicators, and ESG performance.

In this edition, inspired by the International Year of the Woman Farmer, the article explores why ESG must go beyond carbon metrics to foster real resilience in productive systems.

ESGpec has been selected to be included in an international publication dedicated to concrete and scalable solutions for transforming food systems , in the context of the global climate agenda associated with COP30.
