Objective

Investigate and promote strategies to mitigate deforestation risks associated with agricultural production, focusing on soybean and beef value chains, in line with international sustainability requirements, global climate commitments and responsible-trade guidelines.

Context

International regulatory pressure — in particular EUDR and analogous standards under discussion in China — makes the management of direct and indirect deforestation risks a competitive priority. The project combines geospatial analysis, regulatory dialogue and monitoring pilots.

Activities

• Geospatial risk analysis in soybean and beef chains
• Dialogue on EUDR and analogous regulations
• Monitoring and MRV pilots
• Indirect-chain studies in livestock
