The egg industry is an essential part of the Brazilian economy, as it provides an important source of protein for the population. Additionally, it is a sector responsible for generating significant employment and income for a large portion of the population. However, despite its importance, the egg industry in Brazil faces several challenges in different aspects. Considering the rapid progress in laying hen production and the growing demand for high-quality protein, the sector must continue evolving to meet new market demands and challenges. To ensure its sustainability and competitiveness, one way is through the diversification of the egg production chain, focusing on market, business, and production levels. Thus, this study aims to analyze the diversification of the egg production chain in Brazil, emphasizing its alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations in 2015. A literature review methodology was adopted, encompassing peer-reviewed journal articles, government reports, and relevant published works. Despite the limited number of studies on the subject, an integrated analysis shows that diversification techniques have become a promising option to boost the egg market, as consumers are increasingly demanding and concerned about the quality, health impact, and environmental sustainability of products and foods.

Este artigo tem como objeto a festa do Círio de Nazaré de Belém do Pará, evento religioso que acontece no segundo domingo de outubro e atrai cerca de dois milhões de devotos de vários estados do país, bem como estrangeiros. Com base nesse evento, o objetivo do presente trabalho é compreender o simbolismo da gastronomia do Círio de Nazaré enquanto identidade local. Para alcançar esse objetivo, a metodologia aplicada foi de caráter etnográfico, com observação participante e revisão bibliográfica. Como resultados, constatou-se que a gastronomia é um patrimônio imaterial do Círio, tendo como destaque o pato no tucupi e a maniçoba, e que o simbolismo desses alimentos está constantemente presente na festa religiosa, consolidando seu significado e identidade pelo consumo dos moradores locais e visitantes.
