This document presents preliminary maps and statistics about the area and carbon content of forests on lands that are highly suitable for industrial agriculture and those forests that have high concentrations of forest dependent people. Beyond these preliminary maps and statistics, an important goal of this report is to provide a conceptual approach to the mapping of the constraints to agricultural expansion imposed by soils, drainage, and climate as one component of the analyses that each nation must undertake in projecting future deforestation trends.

Natural and drought scenarios in an east central Amazon forest: Fidelity of the Community Land Model 3.5 with three biogeochemical models

Recent development of general circulation models involves biogeochemical cycles: flows of carbon and other chemical species that circulate through the Earth system. Such models are valuable tools for future projections of climate, but still bear large uncertainties...

Boletim Amazônia em Pauta 7 – Estratégias para reorientar o Pronaf para atividades produtivas de baixo impacto ambiental na Amazônia Legal

O Pronaf se tornou a principal política de apoio à agricultura familiar, a partir da qual outras políticas e programas foram elaborados de forma a integrar as ações governamentais para este segmento social - nos últimos 20 anos, foram investidos cerca de R$ 160 bilhões no Brasil. Mas é preciso repensar sua implementação considerando seu potencial como estímulo ao desenvolvimento sustentável.
