Epidemiologically inspired approaches to land-use policy evaluation
Environmental policy evaluation is crucial to determining if policy objectives were achieved. In most cases, some of the outcomes can be measured but a proper statistical analysis is difficult to achieve since the data may not represent a random sample (i.e., the data is biased), are not representative of the population or cannot be compared to a control group. This work adapts quasi-experimental statistical methods widely used in epidemiological…
Limits of Brazil’s Forest Code as a means to end illegal deforestation
Significance Brazil’s new Forest Code has the potential to halt illegal deforestation in the country’s native forests and savannas through implementation of a federal land registry—along with powerful tools that facilitate enforcement and give landowners a pathway to restoring or compensating their “forest deficits.” This study suggests that these tools fall short of their promise. Although landowners in eastern Amazonia have been motivated to jo…
Commodity production in Brazil
This article documents the degree of noncompliance of soy producers in the Amazon portion of Mato Grosso with Brazil’s Forest Code and addresses the importance of market demands in shifting agricultural production and land occupation towards zero deforestation. By using a sample composed of the boundaries of 9,113 properties (72.5% of soy in the region) we assessed: a) compliance with Forest Code legal reserve requirements (a percentage of the pr…
Slowing Amazon deforestation through public policy and interventions in beef and soy supply chains
The recent 70% decline in deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon suggests that it is possible to manage the advance of a vast agricultural frontier. Enforcement of laws, interventions in soy and beef supply chains, restrictions on access to credit, and expansion of protected areas appear to have contributed to this decline, as did a decline in the demand for new deforestation. The supply chain interventions that fed into this deceleration are prec…
Da abundância do agronegócio à Caixa de Pandora ambiental
O objetivo do texto é discutir o desenvolvimento do estado do Mato Grosso nos últimos anos, além de avaliar a contribuição do desmatamento para geração de riquezas que possam se converter em ganhos para a sociedade regional. Por meio de um exercício empírico é revelado, num panorama inicial, que não existem diferenças socioeconômicas muito marcantes entre municípios que foram desmatados com maior ou menor intensidade, sobretudo entre aqueles onde…
