Land Use and Food Systems
In the debate regarding sustainable development in the Legal Amazon, there are countless alternatives of public policies for the reduction of the inequality through sustainable land use.
The objective of the Land Use and Food Systems portfolio is to untie economic growth from deforestation, encouraging sustainable production and the adoption of more sustainable means of production
Accordingly, the realized projects are organized into four action fronts:
Reduction of illegal deforestation through economic and legal accountability with respect to environmental infringements
Initiatives that impede legal deforestation and promote forest restoration through economic instruments and incentives
Actions aimed at unallocated public lands, protected areas, indigenous lands and occupied private properties in accordance with legal and environmental rules
Strengthening of local actors with powers to develop and implement solutions for sustainable land use
