We are aware of the importance of native vegetation to maintaining rainfall regimes, as forests control climate through evapotranspiration.

” “Brazilian agriculture in the Cerrado regions carries very large burdens in relation to the maintenance of reserves.

At the end of 2018 work began to create a Cerrado Joint Financial Task Force to provide a focus for this activity – members include representatives of the GTC, SoS and the wider soy supply chain This Joint Task Force began operations in early 2019 and has developed a Cerrado Conservation Mechanism (CCM) These payments express the worldwide commitment of all those involved in the food production chain to embrace sustainability. Alongside the Amazon soy moratorium that has been effective at stopping deforestation for soy in the Amazon, the funding aims to create a financial incentives mechanism for farmers that could make Brazil a zero-deforestation and conversion soy producing country.• International soy-value chain companies, foundations and governments can support this initiative by contributing financially. We must socialize the benefit and the cost as well.

The applicability of tools like financial mechanisms are mandatory to achieve preservation and maintenance of the environment.” “Preserving forests is one of the biggest challenges for developing countries like Brazil. “In addition to other factors such as evapotranspiration, regulation of temperature gradients, wind barriers, among others, so this idea of payments for environmental services comes at a good time, as it will certainly help to keep most of these areas preserved.” “The movement for the preservation of the environment observed in Brazil should not only be an external pressure event, it is important to use tools such as payments for environmental services as an incentive. Tropical forester specialized in conservation and development with more than twenty years of experience in Latin American countries. call on the European Commission and European Union (EU) Member States to include semi-forest or non-forest ecosystems in the scope of  ‘EU Communication (2019) on stepping up EU Action to protect and restore the world’s forests’, mostly to:i. assess additional demand-side regulatory and non-regulatory measures to ensure deforestation-free supply chains, associated with commodity imports in the EU;ii.

A mechanism for distributing the funds has yet to be established. strengthen financing mechanism, such as the Small Grants Program (SGP) funding, to broadly reach Community Based Organizations (CBO) in the Cerrado; andiii. which are currently around USD2 a tonne). The Cerrado is also one of the most important Brazilian regions for water production being responsible for 40% of Brazil’s freshwater that is essential for agriculture. Civil society strengthening, Sociobiodiversity, ... Economic Mechanisms, Public policy, Restoration, Seed Market and Restoration Providing Environmental Services and Biodiversity. The proportion of deforested land inside reserve boundaries increased in 1973–1986 and 1986–2000, but decreased in 2000–2010. Acerca de. Beyond the initial five years, complementary incentives, such as green bonds and carbon financing will be needed to continue to support farmers to expand soy only on already cleared land.

Its two global company brands Skretting (aqua feed) and Trouw Nutrition (animal nutrition) have sales in over 90 countries. Considering the entire period 1973–2010, the proportion of deforestation remained constant at an extremely low level (0.6%) inside the reserve. STRESSING that there is still no dedicated financial mechanism to support conservation and restoration strategies for the Cerrado, only different funding arrangements that need to be negotiated for each phase to the Global Environment Facility (GEF), and which are hard to access for local stakeholders; encourage the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) and the Dedicated Grant Mechanism (DGM) for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs), as well as other public and private donors, to:i. increase their support for the Cerrado hotspot; andii. The cerrado is disappearing twice as fast as the Amazon rainforest with 21,000 square kilometers (over 2 million hectares) of savannah destroyed annually between 2002 and 2008.

For the farmer who is not yet aware of the global importance of forests, this incentive would give him a direct economic reason to contribute to the preservation of his reserves.” “Payment for Environmental Services is recognition of the very few individuals that contribute to the good of all. Brazil's role in favor of the Amazon has been closely watched internationally and the country's reputation for agriculture will depend on maintaining high levels of production in an environmentally sustainable manner. The Ecosystem Profile for the Cerrado Biodiversity Hotspot of the CEPF gives an important contribution to support this motion by characterizing the Cerrado as one of the largest and biologically richest tropical savanna regions in the world.
