Purpose
This project proposes an integrated approach to promote deforestation-free beef and soy value chains in Mato Grosso State. This approach consists of implementing a demonstration project of an integrated clean beef supply chain based on improved ranching practices and a collaborative agreement with the industry; an innovative compensatory mechanism that links zero-deforestation commitments of the soya sector to cattle ranching improvement that will scale up improved ranching practices; a set of measures that will strengthen state-level beef sourcing agreements banning deforestation; and the preparation of the field for the implementation of statewide public policy incentives for deforestation-free ranching.
