Drivers of Deforestation and REDD+ - Can REDD+ Compete?
Summary
The document examines how population growth and resource-intensive meat production increase pressure on forestland, arguing that REDD+ must compete with the profitability of livestock and grain production to effectively and equitably address deforestation.
Key insights
- Global food production systems and forestland face increasing pressure due to a projected human population exceeding 9 billion by mid-century and a tripling of grain, beef, and mutton consumption over the last 50 years.
