According to the DETER system of the National Institute for Space Research (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais), forest cover loss in the Brazilian Amazon fell by 31% from January to May compared to the same period in 2022.

DETER is an alert system that supports surveillance and deforestation control in the region.

The decrease stems from the resumption by Brazilian environmental agencies, such as Ibama, of measures that include an increase in inspections and violation notices and seizure and destruction of equipment used in environmental crimes.

The Embassy hosted today the second Agritalks Washington to discuss prospects for even more sustainable and productive agriculture in Brazil, a country crucial to global food security.

In his opening remarks, Ambassador Nestor Forster Jr. underscored the environmental credentials of Brazil—the country with the cleanest energy mix among G20 economies—and the role of the Brazilian agriculture sector as an ally in the cause of environmental protection.

Agritalks Washington brought together panels on strategies for greenhouse gas reduction in livestock production and measures for increasing environmental sustainability in the beef chain.

The event at the Embassy featured presentations by representatives of the government and the private sector: Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento, Embrapa, Fazenda Santa Brígida, Marfrig and JBS.

The participants addressed topics such as Brazil's governmental programs for low carbon emissions agriculture; integrated crop, livestock, and forestry systems; and the enforcement of beef industry environmental legislation through livestock traceability.

Brazil and the United States are two of the world's agriculture powerhouses and can further enhance cooperation in sustainable agriculture.

Agritalks Washington allowed for an objective assessment of the Brazilian agriculture sector and its proven commitment to science-based methods and the environment.
