Synopsis

In recent decades, the region has experienced significant changes in its agricultural landscape, influenced by various socioeconomic and environmental factors. The expansion of soybean cultivation, along with the adoption of intensive agronomic practices, has altered land use and posed challenges in terms of sustainability and environmental management.

This study aimed to analyze the evolution of agricultural land use in the region and its impact on biodiversity. An analysis of global indicators over time was conducted, allowing us to understand the trajectory of different cropping systems.

The results reveal a trend towards greater intensification and increased uniformity of systems. The findings provide a detailed view of the evolution of cropping systems, showing increased land use intensification and greater system uniformity. These findings are essential for informing agricultural policies and management practices that promote sustainability and resilience in the Uruguayan agricultural sector.
