Caminhos para produção agropecuária sustentável no Brasil

The report finds that Brazil can significantly increase agricultural and livestock production without further deforestation by eliminating productivity inefficiencies. Achieving these gains would require substantial increases in operational costs and capital investment in equipment. The analysis suggests that converting low-productivity pasture to high-productivity cropland could further boost agricultural output by 26 percentage points.

• Brazil has the potential to increase the value of agricultural production by 79% to 105% and livestock production by 27% without causing additional deforestation.
• The potential for agricultural growth varies based on land use: production would increase by 79% if pasture cannot be converted to cropland, and by approximately 105% if such conversion is permitted, indicating that converting low-productivity pasture adds 26 percentage points to national production capacity.
• Maximizing production requires significant capital investment, with estimated increases of 44-51% in operational costs and 48-52% in the value of agricultural equipment.
• Productivity gains are more heterogeneous for agriculture than for livestock; national livestock gains are estimated at 27%, while biome-level and state-level gains are approximately 20% and 14%, respectively.
