  7. World: Why is there desinformation about Brazil ? Would be real honest? or Two key issues Would be INTENTIONAL?

  8. World: Disappearing primary forests 1977 1850 1650 1000

  9. World: Where are the intact forests? 35% in Latin America (Brazil is the largest) • 28% in North America; • 19% in Northern Asia: • 7% in South Asia Pacific; • 8% in Africa; • Less than 0.3% in Western Europe. Source: Greenpeace - USA

  10. Knowing Brazil use of land Territorial distribuition Amazon Rain Florest .... 350 Breeding Pasture ... 220 Protected Áreas ... 55 Annual Cultures ... 48 Permanent Cultures ... 17 Cultivated Forest ... 5 Cities, lakes, roads and others uses ... 156 Total ... 851 90 million hectares availables 90 million hectares availables “Attention” Source: IBGE e MAPA World : agriculture for producing food vs energy is a important discussion. Brazil: in particular case, there is still enough land to meet both demands

  11. Brazil: Sugar Cane Production Map 3 million hectares = production to suply 50% of fuel national consumption (ethanol/gas) South Center > 87% national production sugar cane

  12. Brazil has been saved agricultural area Million hectares 3,82 t/ha Brazil production 1970/71: 52 million tonnes no productivyarea 2007/08: 234 million tonnes saved area 1,44 t/ha planted area Source :ANDA/IBGE. 16 pricipal culturee

  13. Italy German Spain France Brazilian Legal Amazon : “ A big continent” Area created by Law 1806/1953, with tax objetive BRAZIL 851 million hectares Area : 510 million hectares Territory : 8 states National territory share: 60% Population: 23 million persons Source: National Space Survey Institute - INPE

  14. Brazil and its biomes Tradicional envirommental concern

  15. There is another common confusion Amazon forest Area deforestation 1970: 1.0 % - 50.000 km2 2007: 17.5% - 712.000 km2 “Attention” Cerrado is not Amazon Forest Amazon Biome -420 million hectares and 82% Legal Amazon

  16. What are strategies questions ? Brazilian Legal Amazon: 23 million persons and national share pasture with 7.8% ( Source: IBGE) How give them improvement and welfare conditions ? They need better standard life and social - economic progress Are there solutions and options ?

  17. Brazil: Some cattle production figures • Provide 5.5 million jobs, most of them in development rural area; • Roughly 220 million hectares of pasture: extensive system predominance; • Pasture support herd 193 million ( the second largest in theworld); • Study has estimated that 23% of low-productivity pasture available; • Brazilian cerrado is the main beef production: about 50.0%; • Lower pasture support: 0.88 cattle head by hectare

  18. Amazon: Deforestatiton has reduced; • Raise 50% last years; • Action envolves 13 ministries; • Arrested: 700 persons and 1 million wood cubic meters arrested; • Bankrupt of 1500 firms in illegally areas; • US$ 2.5 billions in fines. Amazon: Sustentability plan is possible • Private farm: regularization. • Public land: control and monitoring. 76% of Amazon biome area. • Ecologic economic zone; • Intensive system in deforested area; • Small farm: only in transition zone. 800 thousand in 42 million hectares; • Payment to stand tree: environmental asset; • Illegal commerce control: Europe buy 800 thousand tonnes ( US$ 570 million) of timber by year.

  19. Abundance soil and water; Modern tecnology; Genetic and nutrition: in 18 months, animal with 510 kg; Major priority: degradaded pasture recuperation; Excellent condition for animal welfare; Modern meat processing industry; Improve CO2 balance. Brazil: Cattle future scenario • Sanitary evolution allows export live animal; • Intensive production system; • Raise cattle feed lot; • Modern production with better offtake rate: 29%; • Mad Cow (BSE) free; • FMD erradication is almost complete Herd : 205 million head 2015 National cattle projection Offtake rate – 29 % Production – 11,8 million tonnes Source: CNPC

  20. Henning Steinfeld, Pierre Gerber, Tom Wassenaar et al. (FAO) The brazilian aproaches “ LIVESTOCK`S LONG SHADOWENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND OPTIONS” Positives points • Negative impact of agricultural subsidies; • Meat is important source of nutrient to health human; • Sector has contributed with job, earn, dignity and to avoid new deforestation; • Provides livelihoods to about 1.3 billion peoples; • Contributes about 40% to global agricultural output; • Cattle must be analysed with especifics studies, without sensational news; Negative point • Not to be consider CO2 keep pasture • Balance is essential

  21. Emission: CO2 – 44.0 CH4 – 49.28 Total ( basis CO2): 1226.72 Brazil: Cattle CO2 balance kg/year/hectare • Keep pasture: • Degradaded pasture:1.000 • Good management practices: 2.000 • Average: 1772.72(*) (*) 23% low productive pasture Positive balance: 546 Correct study against burn, deforestation, degradation soil and low tecnology. • Dry material; • Carbon and nitron relation; • Organic decomposition; • Animal by hectare. Important factors New study will be delivery on september

  22. Production: 2.6 million farmers; 46.5% of brazilian’s farmers; 81% of farmers: < 100 hectares; Brazil: Industrial pig production and environment • 2. Environment protection: • Brazil has with Sadia Alimentos a model project • Project (MDL or 3S) validated worldwide by UNO; • 1000 pork producers are envolved; • Credit is 389 tonnes of carbon/farm/year.

  23. Enviromment Project MDL or 3S • Removes 98% of the organic pollution and 99.9% of the fecal coliforms; • 15% of the solids go to soil fertilizers; • Sequential lagoonuses: • No water contamination ( phosphates and nitrates); • Excrements reservoirs with material structure to avoid the infiltration and contamination of natural resources.
