About
Integrating national open databases provides a deep look into the intersections of food production, environmental impact, and public health within Brazil. This resource tracks the evolution of agrifood systems by harmonising data on harvested areas, crop yields, and nutrient availability alongside environmental metrics such as water usage and pesticide residues. By examining these longitudinal patterns, the data aids in identifying critical relationships between agricultural practices and sustainability, helping to inform future food policies and health interventions.
Columns
- Year: The calendar year of the record, spanning from 1974 to 2023.
- Food: The name of the food item or crop in Portuguese (e.g., FEIJAO, MILHO).
- Food (English): The translated name of the food item or crop (e.g., BEAN, CORN).
- Region: The broad geographical division of Brazil, such as the Northeast or North.
- State: The specific Brazilian state where the data was recorded, such as Espirito Santo or Minas Gerais.
- Harvest Area (hectares): The total land area utilised for harvesting the specific crop, measured in hectares.
- Food Production (tons): The total weight of the food produced, quantified in metric tons.
- Energy (kcal): The caloric value associated with the food group or production volume.
- Protein (g): The protein content available within the specific food category, measured in grams.
- Pesticides and Residue Monitoring: Data regarding the usage of pesticides, including toxicity classifications and maximum residue levels.
Distribution
The data is delivered in a CSV format titled PHFood_Brazil.csv, with a file size of 145.11 MB. It contains 403,000 valid records and includes 50 distinct columns. The material demonstrates high integrity with 100% validity for core fields and has been meticulously processed through Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) cycles to ensure consistency across various national sources.
Usage
This resource is designed for exploring the connections between food systems, human health, and environmental preservation. It supports extensive studies in agrifood sustainability, allowing researchers to investigate how nutrient availability is impacted by changing agricultural practices. Additionally, the data can be used to model future food security under different climate scenarios and to develop dietary patterns that balance nutritional needs with planetary health.
Coverage
The scope is national, covering all regions and states across Brazil. Temporally, the collection provides a longitudinal view from 1974 through to early 2023. It encompasses a wide variety of food groups and population data, integrating agricultural statistics with environmental and health reports to provide a broad perspective on the Brazilian food system.

Who Can Use It
Academic researchers in the fields of nutrition and environmental science can use these records to study the long-term impacts of pesticides and water usage. Public health officials can leverage the nutrient availability data to design better health interventions. Furthermore, policymakers and sustainability consultants can utilise the production and environmental metrics to draft data-driven agricultural and climate change policies.
