The needs of humanity for more food and employment are in an increasing trend and these frameworks call for continuous economic growth worldwide, but these tendencies are supported often compromising the availability of resources for the next generations.

For that, several documents, obtained from the Scopus database and related to the issues here addressed, were considered.
