A falsa dicotomia entre a preservação da vegetação natural e a produção agropecuária

Abstract: The false dichotomy between preservation of the natural vegetation and food production in Brazil. Biota Neotrop. 10(4): http://www.biotaneotropica. org.br/v10n4/en/abstract?point-of-view+bn00110042010.Abstract: Through the analysis of census data on land use in Brazil this article shows that the dichotomy between food production and preservation of natural vegetation used as the main driver to change the Forest Code is false.

“…Most of Brazilian agricultural land is occupied by pastures and while export-oriented crops, such as soybean and sugarcane, take over grasslands, the agricultural frontier is expanded to support cattle production, based mainly on large areas with continuous grazing and low stocking rates (Martinelli et al, 2010). It is pointed out that pasture degradation compromises sustainable cattle production; and, while few ranchers are concerned with this issue, even fewer are recovering degraded pastures (Peron & Evangelista, 2004).…”

“…In opposition to this view, scientists have joined together in highlighting the possible damage that could arise from the proposed changes and the existence of sufficient area to marry preservation of biological patrimony and increased agricultural production for internal consumption and export (BACHA, 2004;MARTINELLI et al, 2010;METZGER, 2010;SBPC;ABC, 2011a;SPAROVEK et al, 2010SPAROVEK et al, , 2011SPAROVEK et al, , 2012VIANA et al, 2002).…”
