Just a reminder that the biggest cause of rainforest deforestation is the animal industry. So basically, going plant based is protecting the rainforest.
in brazil production methods are not very intensive so it results in grazing being the main production (by an overwhelming majority) method for cattle which means when it has to expand there is 2 options, either intensify or just expand horizontally, the former is often not choosen because lack of infrastructure or poor knowledge of operators on how to do it
I suspect they do not intensify because parts of Brazil go above 40°C for some time yearly. It would be hard/expensive to keep cattle alive in those conditions.
Nice. Hope they can keep it up, even if the new oil drilling going on makes one sceptical. Of course while there is a demand for oil there’ll be a big incentive to drill, we really need to wean ourselves off the dead dino goop soon.
Thanks Brazil 🇧🇷
