Human pressures have caused degradation of natural resources and reduction of biodiversity on the planet with serious consequences to humanity, because of the increasing demands for water, fibers, food, energy and raw material. It is necessary to reconcile economic, social and environmental components in a scenario of climate change. Therefore, concerns about this issue have increased in all sectors of society. Many data on natural resources in the Brazilian biomes were obtained by re-search, education, government and non-government institutions in recent decades, but without a conceptual and methodological focus turned to ecosystem services. Research aiming at understand-ing ecosystem and environmental services has increased worldwide since the Millennium Ecosys-tem Assessment. Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) has also followed this trend and in 2014 approved a network of projects entitled Environmental Services in Rural Land-scape Arrangement with over 60 related projects. The purpose of this paper is to present the status of research on ecosystem and environmental services related to agriculture in Brazil developed by Embrapa, and to identify how the expected results may contribute to the expansion of environmen-tal services in rural Brazil.
