Grandes fornecedores de soja são surpreendidos em desmatamento contínuo ligado a fast food, supermercados

Mighty Earth's May 2017 update reveals that major soy traders Cargill and Bunge continue to be linked to deforestation in Brazil and Bolivia despite public commitments. Using satellite monitoring, the organization identified 60 square kilometers of new deforestation and 120 square kilometers of planned deforestation across previously visited sites. The report highlights a disconnect between corporate environmental advertising and operational reality, while noting that several global consumer brands, such as Unilever and Tesco, support expanding collective action to protect other Latin American regions beyond the Brazilian Amazon.

• Satellite monitoring identified 60 square kilometers of new deforestation and 120 square kilometers of planned deforestation—land prepared for imminent clearing—at sites previously visited by researchers.
• Major soy traders Cargill and Bunge are linked to the ongoing mass deforestation of the Brazilian Cerrado and the Bolivian Amazon basin, often participating in financing land clearing and infrastructure development.
• In Bolivia, specific cases of deforestation linked to soy production were identified: the Menonitas 1 colony (approximately 10 square kilometers of new deforestation) and Papagayo Agropecuária Celestina (approximately 4.7 square kilometers), both identified as supplying Cargill.
• In Brazil, the Chapadão, São José, and Semear farms, which sell to Cargill, Bunge, and Multigrain (Mitsui), showed 3,179 hectares of deforestation and 12,084 hectares of planned deforestation.
• There is a discrepancy between Cargill's public image and its actions, as the company spends millions on environmental advertising while remaining involved in rapid deforestation.
• Several large consumer companies, including Unilever, Tesco, and McDonald's, have expressed support for expanding collective action to stop deforestation across other Latin American regions.
