ABIOVE, the Brazilian Oilseed Processors Association, was founded on 1981 and has 12 members companies who are responsible for approximately 60 percent of Brazil's soybean processing volume. Brazil is responsible for some 25 percent of the world's soybean production, with the estimate of a production of 92 million tonnes in the 2014/15 crop. The soybean complex (beans, meal and oil) is one of the main items in the country's Trade Balance. In 2014 exports reached US$ 31,4 billion. Soybean production brings social development to rural areas.

BRAZIL: FOOD PRODUCTION AND BIODIVERSITY
Improvement in Brazil’s Environmental Governance - transparency;
Challenge - to implement the New Forest Code;
Rural Environmental Registration (CAR) is the most advanced tool;
Soybeans are not an important driver of deforestation;
Transition to a new agenda - Processors support to CAR.

SOY MORATORIUM – NEW AGENDA
MONITORING BY SATELLITE EVEN MORE TRANSPARENCY
• Quantifies soybean planting in the Amazon Biome;
• Locates areas of expansion;
• Orients public policies;
• Orients programs that resolve local problems with emergency actions.

SOY MORATORIUM - NEW AGENDA
RURAL ENVIRONMENTAL REGISTRATION - CAR
• Identification of the land owner and the area of the rural property: allowing monitoring and control
• Survey of environmental assets and liabilities: environmental adequacy of rural properties regarding Legal Reserves and Areas of Permanent Preservation
• Definition of land use and occupation: reconciling environmental conservation with food production
• Brings legal security to the producer
• Mato Grosso: 87% and Pará: 77% of the area is done
• http://www.car.gov.br/

HIGH CONSERVATION VALUE AREAS (HCVAs)
Environmental legislation guarantees that large areas of private land are preserved
Areas of Permanent Preservation (APP): along the margins of rivers and hilltops
Legal Reserve (RL): native vegetation must be preserved on 20% to 80% depending on the
biome

To contribute so that soybean farmers are in conformity with Brazil’s new
Forest Code and, in this way, reconcile food production with environmental
conservation.
Good News:
Public Governance has improved significantly since 2006 - high
enforcement of the environmental law;
Soyabean is not a relevant vector of Amazon Biome deforestation -
transparency by sattelite monitoring;
Forest Code provides useful tools to protect HCVAs - CAR, Permanent
Preservation Areas and Legal Reserve
