O problema geográfico do Brasil

Brazil has 8.5 million square kilometers, but almost nothing seems to be close to where it's needed: most of the population lives near the coast, agricultural production has moved inland, water is concentrated in the Amazon, and ports are far from much of what we export. The result is a country that needs to transport food, energy, water, internet, and people over enormous distances – while remaining far from the major centers of the world economy. In this video, we traverse the map of Brazil to understand the hidden cost in its topography. Geography doesn't determine a country's destiny. But it defines the chessboard – and, in Brazil's case, it exacts a high price for every connection that nature failed to provide.
