Resumo: | Deforestation rates have been rising in the Brazilian Amazon since 2013 and a long-term planning to reduce trends requires an in-depth understanding of the major drivers of land use change in the region, such as cattle ranching. However, there is a lack of large-scale evidence about how the technological and socioeconomic conditions in which cattle ranching is practiced influence on deforestation. This study assessed the contribution of different cattle ranching systems to deforestation in the Brazilian Legal Amazon from 2017 to 2019, and compared their trends in land use change and stocking rate across time intervals within the period from 2000 to 2019. Farming statistics were collected at the municipal level from Brazils agricultural census of 2017. Municipalities with a predominance of cattle ranching farms were divided into four farming system groups, according to pairwise combinations of higher/lower than average levels of adoption of management practices and capital investment among farms. The highest deforestation rates were found for municipalities with a lower adoption of both management practices and capital investment. These municipalities also had a significantly lower density of slaughterhouses, and presented greater trends in forest loss since the 2008-2012 period compared to municipalities in the two farming system groups with a higher adoption of management practices. The proportion of municipalities with significant increases in stocking rate without significant increases in pasture area started to rise in all farming systems since the 2008-2012 period, but still accounted for only 21% of total municipalities during the 2012-2019 period. Agrarian settlements were the land tenure category with the highest likelihood for deforestation in all farming systems. Policies aiming to prevent deforestation could consider increasing the adoption of management practices among ranchers as one of the major strategies. |

Entretanto, há ainda uma falta de evidência em larga escala sobre como as condições tecnológicas e socioeconômicas da pecuária bovina influenciam no desmatamento. Este estudo avaliou a contribuição de diferentes sistemas de pecuária bovina para o desmatamento na Amazônia ocorrido entre 2017 e 2019, e comparou estes sistemas pelas suas tendências de mudança de uso do solo e taxa de lotação em intervalos temporais durante o período de 2000 a 2019. Estatísticas foram coletadas a partir do censo agropecuário brasileiro de 2017 em base municipal. Os municípios foram divididos em quatro sistemas de pecuária bovina, de acordo com combinações de níveis maiores/menores que o nível médio de adoção de práticas de manejo e investimento em capital entre as fazendas. As maiores taxas de desmatamento foram observadas para os municípios que tinham tanto uma menor adoção de práticas de manejo quanto de investimentos em capital. Estes municípios também tinham uma densidade significativamente menor de frigoríficos, e têm apresentado maiores tendências de perda florestal desde o período de 2005 a 2012 se comparados aos municípios dos dois sistemas de pecuária com maior adoção de práticas de manejo. A proporção de municípios com aumentos significativos na taxa de lotação sem aumentos significativos na área de pastagem começou a crescer desde o período de 2008-2012, mas ainda representou apenas 21% do total de municípios durante o período de 2012-2019. Os assentamentos rurais foram a classe fundiária com a maior propensão ao desmatamento em todos os sistemas de pecuária bovina. Políticas públicas voltadas para a prevenção do desmatamento poderiam considerar o aumento na adoção de práticas de manejo entre os pecuaristas como uma das estratégias mais importantes.http://urlib.net/sid.inpe.br/mtc-m21c/2021/02.13.01.10info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessengreponame:Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações do INPEinstname:Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE)instacron:INPE2021-07-31T06:56:25Zoai:urlib.net:sid.inpe.br/mtc-m21c/2021/02.13.01.10.34-0Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertaçõeshttp://bibdigital.sid.inpe.br/PUBhttp://bibdigital.sid.inpe.br/col/iconet.com.br/banon/2003/11.21.21.08/doc/oai.cgiopendoar:32772021-07-31 06:56:26.833Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações do INPE - Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE)false |
