Caminhos para produção agropecuária sustentável no Brasil

This executive summary by the Climate Policy Initiative details the potential for Brazil to increase agricultural production by 79-105% and livestock production by 27% without increasing deforestation. This growth depends on eliminating inefficiencies through significant investments, specifically a 48-52% increase in equipment value and a 44-51% increase in operational costs.

• Brazil has the potential to significantly increase the value of its agricultural and livestock production without further deforestation by eliminating production inefficiencies. At a national level, agricultural production could increase by 79% if pasture is not converted to cropland, and by approximately 105% if such conversion is permitted. Livestock production has a lower potential for increase, estimated at approximately 27% nationally.
• Achieving maximum productivity requires substantial increases in capital investment and operational spending. To reach the efficiency frontier, national agricultural production would require a 48-52% increase in the value of agricultural equipment and a 44-51% increase in operational costs.
