Land Use

Approach:

• Products from the sociobiodiversity: promotion of the management and economic exploitation of sustainable products; regional trade arrangements and extensionism; the productive autonomy of family farmers, indigenous peoples, quilombolas and traditional communities; and support for the economy of the standing forest, public policies, tax incentives and knowledge;

• Restoration of the native vegetation: coordination in favor of the capital flows for the restoration; boosting the links of the restoration value chain and the markets for its products and services; the promotion of public policies and regulatory frameworks (Planaveg, the Forest Code, and public concessions, among others) for the large-scale restoration and the expansion of the regeneration of the secondary forests.

Approach:

• Green Financing: encouraging regenerative practices through the Safra Plan; establishing a sustainable taxonomy to guide the granting of credit, private investments and the allocation of resources to regenerative practices; supporting the engagement of (public and private) international investors in good agricultural practices in Brazil; and with Pronaf, it provides access to credit for small farmers who adopt sustainable techniques;
• Cattle breeding: mapping of degraded pastures; production of technical information for policies such as the National Program for the Conversion and Recovery of Degraded Pastures (PNCPD); and the implementation of systems of traceability, with the socioenvironmental monitoring and inclusion of small producers in the Amazon;

• Food: construction of the Food and Climate Framework, to integrate the food security measures with the climate goals; strengthening family farming and the sociobiodiversity chains; organizing and training cooperatives and associations; and promoting a broad agenda at COP 30 about healthy and sustainable food and promoting gastrodiplomacy;
• Leadership: strengthen the role of Brazilian agriculture and livestock as a global leader in the transition to sustainable and regenerative systems; promoting the dialogue, reaching new groups and avoiding polarizations; and advancing in areas in which the country has leadership potential, such as biofuels, green fertilizers, bioinputs and the trade in carbon credits from agriculture and livestock.

Approach:

• Transparency and access to information, making the data of the legal and illegal deforestation public through the transparency of Authorizations for Vegetation Suppression; and supporting agricultural, livestock and forestry traceability, promoting sustainable practices and offering whole products aligned with growing market demands;
• Law enforcement and public policies for the protection of the native vegetation and forest restoration; creation of legal solutions for land and environmental issues; quantification of the climate damage; application of sanctions with the use of artificial intelligence; and support to the states in the implementation of the Forest Code.

• Protected areas: appropriate allocation of public lands, land regularization and guarantee of the rights of indigenous peoples, quilombolas and traditional communities; territorial administration instruments and management plans in the indigenous lands and quilombola territories; and the removal and accountability of the offenders;
• Fires: support for federal, state and municipal actions for the prevention and combating of fires in public and private areas; and the promotion of studies about the predisposition/risk of fire, infrastructure for fighting fires and plans of prevention and response.
