ROAD SHOW “LOW CARBON BEEF PRODUCTION IN BRAZIL” - ITALY
"Vertical agriculture: the ultimate revolution in the Tropics"
Date: 25 june 2018
Local: Villa Revedin Bolasco - Castelfranco Veneto, Italy
Lead responsibility: Fórum do Futuro (Brazil); Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation
(Embrapa)
Background
Agriculture in Brazil, as well as worldwide, has been striving to meet the increasing demand for food,
timber, fibers and bioenergy. While larger production is necessary, restrictions for expansion over
natural environments increase. In this context, and to add value on exports, some aspects must be also
addressed. For instance, animal welfare, water and soil conservation, while mitigating greenhouse
gases emissions (GHG). The last one through carbon sequestration can become an environmental
service provided by grazing areas. Today, Brazil can supply such services through production systems
that include a forestry component integrated to cattle ranching. For instance, as part of a national
strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Brazilian Government launched in 2010 its National Plan
for Low Carbon Emission in Agriculture (Plano Agricultura de Baixa Emissão de Carbono, ABC Plan). The
main goal is to promote the implementation of low carbon agricultural practices/ technologies to
ensure GHG emissions reduction, stimulating implementation of forestry related activities, including
integrated crop-livestock-forest systems (ICLF).The official plan makes credit available for projects
adopting this technology (the ABC Program). In 2015, Embrapa developed the concept “Carbon Neutral
Brazilian Beef”, CCN for short in Portuguese, which is represented by a label referring to beef cattle
produced under integrated systems with mandatory presence of a forestry component. This concept
aims to support implementation of more sustainable cattle systems, especially regarding environment,
through introduction of trees that can neutralize emissions related to methane emitted by cattle. It
ensures added value for beef produced under such systems. This concept aims also to spread the
strategic importance of sustainability to the associated production chains (i.e. grains and forestry). It
motivates farmers to integrate systems, optimizing use of inputs and other production factors,
resulting in synergistic positive effects.
This series of events, in different countries, aims to share with several audiences, especially academy,
how Brazil is leading the livestock decarbonisation in Latin America, utilizing Sustainable Production
Systems.
