ABOUT THE COURSE <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
The agricultural sector in Brazil and other Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries plays a vital international role in food production and the development of sustainable tropical agriculture. Agriculture is very important for several economies in the region, accounting for between 5 and 18 percent of GDP in 20 Latin American and Caribbean countries, making the sector fundamental for boosting economic growth, promoting trade, generating jobs, increasing income and reducing poverty, agriculture also has the function of preserving the world's food and nutritional security. Because of its unique importance, the sector suffers from the problem of illegal agricultural inputs, which can account for up to 20% of all revenues in this market, making it one of the top 10 illicit markets for organized crime, whether national or transnational.<\/span><\/h4>Faced with this contemporary and complex challenge, the School of Multidimensional Security (ESEM-USP) is promoting the fourth stage of the \"Program to Combat Illicit Markets\", focusing on investigation and prosecution processes. The course is made up of a team of high-level instructors from Academia, the Private Sector and Public Security Institutions, who jointly share their experiences and knowledge to help combat the Criminal Organizations (ORCRIM) that operate in the sector.<\/span><\/h4>The Distance Learning Course on Investigating Illegal Agricultural Inputs offers continuing professional training for Brazilian and Latin American public and private security agents who work in regions where illegal agricultural inputs are produced, circulated and marketed. The main objective is for the trainee to be better qualified to act in recognition, seizure, handling, inspection and investigation, as well as to know the techniques, procedures and risks associated with handling these products.<\/span><\/h4><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGENERAL OBJECTIVE <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
