In June 17th, the study ‘Low Carbon Growth in Brazil' was launched in Brasilia. The study was sponsored by the World Bank and ICONE lead the referring analyses to land use, work in which was involved since 2007.
O Instituto analisou o uso da terra em termos de área plantada, oferta e demanda para atividades agrícolas, pecuárias e florestas plantadas, para cenários de referência e de baixo carbono. No cenário de referência, a expansão do setor agropecuário e florestal foi projetada sem restrição de disponibilidade de terra. No cenário de baixo carbono foram impostas duas barreiras: aqui, toda a demanda adicional por terra (para agricultura, florestas comerciais e restauro florestal) deveria ocorrer sem avanço da fronteira; e a demanda por carne e leite não deveriam cair porque a menor emissão de gases de efeito estufa geraria perda de bem-estar para o consumidor.
The Institute analyzed the land use referring to planted area, offers and planted demand for agricultural, cattle activities and forests, for scenes of reference and low carbon. In reference scene, the expansion of the farming and forest sector was projected without restriction of land availability. In low carbon scene two barriers had been imposed: here, all the additional demand for land (for commercial agriculture, forests and I restore forest) would have to occur without advance of the border; the demand for meat and milk would not have to decrease because lesser emission of greenhouse gases would generate loss of well-being for the consumer.
