Does agriculture contribute to Sustainable Development Goals in the BRICS countries? This question remains one of the unanswered questions in the academic arena. Thus, an examination of this question is crucial. Accordingly, the objectives of the study are twofold. The first objective was to examine the contribution of agriculture on economic growth in the BRICS bloc. The second objective was to investigate the contribution of agriculture on income inequality. The study employed Pooled Mean Group over a period 1995-2018 and found that agriculture production contributes to economic growth and reduces income inequality in the BRICS countries. All the variables met the expected priori and the study confirmed that all the disequilibrium in the shortrun could be corrected in the long-run. Therefore, the BRICS government should strengthen the agricultural sector since it is one of its strongholds sector.

Abstract. Economic changes in the context of globalization have left adolescents from Latin American contexts with few opportunities to make satisfactory transitions into adulthood. Recent studies indicate that there is a protracted period between the end of schooling and entering into formal working activities. While in this “limbo,” illicit activities, such as drug trafficking may emerge as an alternative for young people to ensure their social participation. This article aims to deepen the understanding of Brazilian youth’s involvement in drug trafficking and its intersection with their schooling, work, and aspirations, connecting with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 and 16 as proposed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations in 2015 .
