Brazil
In Brazil, Tropical Forest Alliance is working to reduce deforestation associated with the expansion of agricultural production, especially soy and beef.
Our key work streams include:
The Beef Alliance
TFA brought together Brazilian meatpackers, Chinese buyers and civil society organizations, to create a set of minimum deforestation and conversion-free criteria for beef trade between China and Brazil.
Focus on the Cerrado
TFA developed a report that proposes a new agricultural model for the Cerrado biome. This integrates long-term ecological protection and measures designed to enhance productivity in agriculture and other key sectors.
Pará Cattle Integrity and Development Program
TFA supported the launch of a mandatory traceability program for cattle in the state of Pará to address deforestation and reduce CO2 emissions.
Priority Actions for the Transition of Brazilian Livestock
TFA has facilitated the structure and mobilization of different stakeholders to prioritize actions to invest and implement in Brazil.
Multi-stakeholder meetings in Soy and Beef
An annual event to convene different stakeholders from traders, meatpackers, CGF FPCoA companies, NGOs, government and financial institutions to discuss the enabling conditions and implementation process for the cattle and soy transition. View the November 2024 meeting summary and video.
