The six key solutions are listed below with their value propositions, advantages and complementarities:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2a2825;\"><strong>Compensation for surplus legal reserve<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #2a2825;\"><strong>Overview<\/strong>: Brazilian soy farmers are required by law to maintain a proportion of their properties as native vegetation coverage, referred to as a legal reserve. If the native vegetation area exceeds that which is required by law, producers can choose to convert the area to agricultural production or to apply for payments for conserving the area of surplus native vegetation. Such incentive programs already exist in the form of Forest Reserve Credits (CRAs, Cotas de Reserva Ambiental in Portuguese).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #2a2825;\"><strong>Value proposition<\/strong>: Payments for surplus legal reserve compensate for the producers&#8217; opportunity cost of legally converting native vegetation. It recognizes the value of forests and invites producers themselves to see economic opportunities in non-conversion.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2a2825;\"><strong>Technical assistance for sustainable production and Forest Code compliance<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #2a2825;\"><strong>Overview<\/strong>: Soy farmers are interested in technological and innovative agricultural practices that can lead to more sustainable, productive and cost-effective farms. Additionally, legal compliance with Brazil&#8217;s national Forest Code and rural environmental registry (CAR) improves producers&#8217; access to global supply chains. Still, not all farmers manage to fulfill their conservation obligations under the law and to register their compliance with relevant institutions. This solution addresses non-compliance by combining extension services in sustainable production with supports to meet Forest Code standards.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #2a2825;\"><strong>Value proposition<\/strong>: Companies seek to source from producers who comply with the Brazilian Forest Code and customer sourcing policies to protect and promote their reputation, generate shared value along the supply chain and attract investors by safeguarding against financial and reputational risks. If properly implemented, the Forest Code can be a major competitive advantage for the Brazilian cattle and agricultural crop industries in both domestic and international markets.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2a2825;\"><strong>Native vegetation restoration on degraded land<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #2a2825;\"><strong>Overview<\/strong>: The term restoration refers to \u201cany intentional activity that initiates or accelerates the recovery of an ecosystem from a degraded state.\u201d It is the focus of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021\u20132030), which seeks to fast-track worldwide restoration of severely degraded landscapes through partnerships with both the public and private sectors. Restoration includes avoiding, reducing and reversing land degradation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #2a2825;\"><strong>Value proposition<\/strong>: Restoring degraded land into forested areas can improve soil and water quality over a much larger area, provide income to local communities under agroforestry systems, and offer an important story-telling opportunity about alternative land-use approaches. Restoration is vital to sustaining the health of existing ecosystems that support the livelihoods of farming communities.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2a2825;\"><strong>Integrated farming of livestock, crops and forests (ICLFS)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #2a2825;\"><strong>Overview<\/strong>: Integrated crop-livestock-forest systems (ICLFS) implement a mixed land-use approach to simultaneously allow for the production of multiple crops, livestock and forests on individual farms. They apply innovative approaches to optimize resource use. Taking an ICLFS approach to farming allows land managers to repurpose waste streams from one component of their farm production as valuable resource inputs in another component, closing the resource use loop at the farm level. The integrated farming approach supports the transformation to localized production systems and can contribute to community-led water conservation efforts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #2a2825;\"><strong>Value proposition<\/strong>: Integrated farming systems aim to optimize land use by reducing input costs, diversifying production, generating jobs and income, as well as increasing productivity within the existing production land area. Additionally, it has significant potential benefits for carbon sequestration.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2a2825;\"><strong>Incentives for soy expansion over pastureland<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #2a2825;\"><strong>Overview<\/strong>: The Cerrado hosts millions of hectares of degraded pastureland, of which a significant portion is deemed suitable for agriculture. This solution area incentivizes producers to use this degraded land rather than clearing native lands through a mix of financing and infrastructure provision. These provisions include staff, equipment, seeds and other supplies. Participating farms are also encouraged to adopt sustainable practices, including no-till farming, crop rotations, cover crops and integrated pest management.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #2a2825;\"><strong>Value proposition<\/strong>: Degraded pastures are currently considered to be a major opportunity in the sustainable expansion of Brazilian agriculture. Restoration and recovery efforts could turn these areas into a new frontier by expanding agricultural yield while restoring forests. Fostering the use of converted lands, mainly degraded ones, optimizes their potential to boost productivity, support environmental conservation and reduce pressure to clear new lands.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2a2825;\"><strong>Green finance or favorable finance in exchange for zero-deforestation commitments<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #2a2825;\"><strong>Overview<\/strong>: Green financing in the soy sector aims to increase the level of financial flows from the public, private and not-for-profit sectors to soy farmers who fulfil requirements set out in the favorable credit terms for sustainable agricultural practices. As an FFC solution, a financial partner would implement green financing by providing favorable credit terms to producers who are willing to commit to zero deforestation and land conversion, among other potential sustainable production terms.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #2a2825;\"><strong>Value proposition<\/strong>: According to the Nature Conservancy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.org\/content\/dam\/tnc\/nature\/en\/documents\/brasil\/tnc-environmentalframeworksoy-eng.pdf\" style=\"color: #2a2825;\">studies<\/a> have shown that relatively small improvements in credit lines can tip the balance in favor of more sustainable practices in soy farming by compensating for the opportunity cost of avoided deforestation. In addition to traditional sources of capital from banks, traders and input companies, concessional capital (usually sourced from public, philanthropic or development finance institutions) can catalyze and leverage investments from the private sector to promote sustainable economic development. Concessional capital offers more favorable financing terms, such as below-market interest rates, longer repayment terms, longer grace periods and customized amortization schedules.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_id=&#8221;references&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#F8F8F8&#8243; z_index=&#8221;1000&#8243; overflow-x=&#8221;visible&#8221; overflow-y=&#8221;visible&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_row make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; min_height=&#8221;74.8px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||34px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;|300||on|||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#61704b&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;32px||25px|||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||11px|||&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_divider show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Divider&#8221; module_id=&#8221;list&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_height=&#8221;5px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; min_height=&#8221;235px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Agrosat\u00e9lite, 2022.\u202f<em>Technical Report: Cerrado soy dynamics with focus on the 61 priority municipalities updated for crop year 2021\/22 vs. PRODES 2014-2021<\/em>.
