The Platform
A bilateral mechanism for sustainable agriculture between Brazil and China
The China-Brazil Sustainable Food Value Chain Platform is a bilateral initiative launched by CAAS and FGV, in partnership with IFPRI, to jointly promote sustainable and low-carbon agricultural trade — focused on the soybean and beef value chains.
As major agricultural countries and trade partners, Brazil and China play a central role in jointly building green food value chains. The Platform advances cooperation in technology, trade standards and green investment, connecting partners from both countries around sustainable agricultural trade and action on land use, climate change, productivity and food security.
Focus on soybean and beef
Strategic value chains for bilateral trade and for the carbon-neutrality commitment.
Institutional cooperation
Joint mechanism by FGV, IFPRI and CAAS, connecting public and private actors in both countries.
Low-carbon trade
Analysis and promotion of green practices, standards and investments for a sustainable trajectory.
What we do
Three lines of action for low-carbon agriculture
The Platform connects research, dialogue and partnerships to strengthen sustainable soybean and beef value chains between Brazil and China.
Applied Research
We generate evidence-based research on soybean and beef, with economic analysis of costs, benefits and modeling of ecosystem impacts — producing reports and policy briefs for low-carbon agricultural trade.
Knowledge Hub
Five thematic axes — soybean, beef, deforestation, carbon and trade policy — organize the Platform's content, publications and studies.
Dashboard & Maps
Quantitative indicators and geographic visualizations of production, trade, deforestation and carbon for soybean and beef value chains.
