Abstract

This article discuss the possibility of using green bonds as a way to promote sustainable family agriculture, to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to which Brazil has made a commitment since the signing of 2016 Paris Agreement. This study aims to analyze the viability of using green bonds as a way to promote sustainable family agriculture, seeking to achieve the objectives of sustainable agriculture proposed by SDG number 2 of the 2030 Agenda. The specific objectives are to present a concept of sustainable agriculture, specify the procedure of green bond emissions, and demonstrate the viability of using these green bonds by the rural family producer as a way of promoting its production with sustainable techniques. As for the methodology applied, an inductive approach was used in the investigative phase, and the Cartesian method was employed in the data treatment phase. The research confirmed the initial hypothesis that, indeed, the use of green bonds to promote sustainable family agriculture and instrumentalize the Sustainable Development Goals is viable.
