  1. INTRODUCTION • FGV FOUNDATION • Brazilian Think Tank: Public Policy • Mission: To Promote Social Development in Brazil and Abroad • AGRICULTURE AND BIOFUEL IN BRAZIL • Agriculture represents 35% of Brazil’s GDP • Agriculture and Livestock production occupies 360 million hectares and Biofuels represents 4.6 % of the total potential agricultural area: • Brazilian Ethanol Production: 23 billion liters/year • Brazilian Biodiesel Production: 2.8 billion liters/year • Electricity Generated by Biomass: 9.5 GW/year

  2. INTRODUCTION • METHODOLOGY • FGV Methodology represents the assimilation of the Brazilian biofuel production experience • It was designed to promote: • Wealth • Social inclusion • Agriculture and industrial development • Professional training • Technology transfer • Infrastructure recommendations • Regulatory enforcement and • environmental protection

  3. METHODOLOGY Agricultural Zoning Agro-climatic Zoning Edafic Zoning Water deficit Rainfall Wetlands Soils Average temperature Evapotranspiration Relief Rivers Social Zoning Environmental Zoning Administrative regions Population Protected areas Biodiversity 5 Ethnics Anthropic areas

  4. METHODOLOGY Agricultural zoning Use and coverage Potential areas validation • Degraded areas; • Relief; • Suitable soils; • Existing projects; • Rural diagnoses; • Existing crops; • Infrastructure analysis; • Cultivation forms; • Use and coverage; • Field evidence. 6

  5. INFORMATION GENERATED Over 240 millionhectare studied Over 10,000 georeferenced photos taken Over 25,000 km traveled on field survey Over 2,000 points of interest gathered 7

  6. INFORMATION GENERATED Up to 14kinds of crops analysed Over 100 local meetings attended 36 expeditions since 2007 About 2,400 soils samples gathered 8
