About this project
Description
The present project is seeking to reduce the threat to biodiversity, pressures on high conservation value forests, and GHG emissions that the advancing agricultural frontier is posing in the Matopiba region, via restoration. The project will focus on the Southeast of Maranhão, the southwest of Piaui, the west of Bahia and central Tocantins. This is in line with the overall IAP, whose program goal is to implement a supply chain approach to solve underlying root causes of deforestation from agriculture commodities.
Objectives
To reduce the threat to biodiversity that the advancing agricultural frontier is posing in the Matopiba region, through a supply chain approach that solves the underlying root causes of deforestation from soy.
