农业 is an important economic engine in Brazil, guaranteeing local livelihoods and supporting global food security. 在塞拉多, Brazil’s latest agricultural frontier, rapid agricultural development has come at a cost, with increasing conversion of native vegetation and the loss of invaluable ecosystems. 根据… agrosatacimite的研究, 6.67 million hectares of land have been cleared in the Cerrado biome between 2014 and 2021 and, 从2021年作物年开始, 884,其中000公顷种植大豆.

The SCF picks up the task of bridging global goals with local realities in the Cerrado. 以大草原为特征, 塞拉多是, 事实上, 一幅复杂的大草原马赛克, 草原和森林. Its preservation is key for the important quantities of carbon it stocks, the biodiversity and watersheds it hosts, as well as for the indigenous communities whose livelihoods depend on it. However, over half the Cerrado has already been converted for food production. 满足全球粮食安全需求, commodity production must be decoupled from land clearing and shifted toward converted areas. Investment in successful financial incentives can reduce the opportunity cost of deforestation and conversion and contribute to the emergence of nature-positive landscapes.

软商品论坛 balances nature, environment and equity imperatives to achieve deforestation- and conversion-free soy supply chains through a dual approach. 第一个, alignment on standards and metrics for soy supply chain transparency and monitoring among the six SCF member companies provides clarity for value chain stakeholders on land conversion dynamics. 第二个, the SCF’s action-driven landscape intervention strategy, 农民优先集群, implements financial incentives for producers to support native vegetation preservation and sustainable production practices. These two goals are supported by stakeholder engagement which ensures transparency, dialogue and collaboration with external partners. 完全, the SCF’s reporting standards and landscape-level intervention approach present a pathway to the elimination of deforestation and conversion for the soy sector and beyond.
