Would be real honest?
Two key issues
or
Would be INTENTIONAL?

vs energy is a important discussion.

enough land to meet both demands

“Attention”
Cerrado is not Amazon Forest
Amazon Biome - 420 million hectares and 82% Legal Amazon
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 ?
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 the world);
 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
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.


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.
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

“ LIVESTOCK`S LONG SHADOW
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND OPTIONS”
Henning Steinfeld, Pierre Gerber, Tom Wassenaar et al. (FAO)
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
Brazil: Cattle CO2 balance
kg/year/hectare
Emission:
 CO2 – 44.0
 CH4 – 49.28
 Total ( basis CO2): 1226.72
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.
Important factors
 Dry material;
 Carbon and nitron relation;
 Organic decomposition;
 Animal by hectare.
New study will be delivery on september
Brazil: Industrial pig production and environment
1.



Production:
2.6 million farmers;
46.5% of brazilian’s farmers;
81% of farmers: < 100 hectares;
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.
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 lagoon uses:
 No water contamination ( phosphates and nitrates);
 Excrements reservoirs with material structure to avoid the infiltration
and contamination of natural resources.
