With Brazil’s new climate strategy, deforestation emissions from private rural properties will no longer appear only in aggregate form under the “Land Use and Forestry” sector but will now be accounted for directly within the agriculture sector. This change redefines the accounting logic for emissions, creating a direct link between land use and sectoral responsibility, and sets stricter targets for agribusiness.

At Fazenda Coisa Boa, forests and pastures go hand in hand: they sequester carbon, generate income, and regenerate the soil. This article shows how the integration of trees, cattle, and technology can transform degraded areas into environmental assets, delivering real gains for producers, the climate, and biodiversity. It is an invitation to transition toward regenerative and economically viable livestock farming.

Latin American livestock farming, responsible for a significant share of global meat and milk production, faces the challenge of reducing its emissions while sustaining millions of people. This article explores how carbon markets, innovative initiatives such as GANSO and Hacienda San José, aligned policies, and climate financing can transform the sector into a sustainability leader — valuing small producers and encouraging low-impact practices.

Low-carbon milk is not exclusive to pasture-based systems. The key lies in how the cow is managed — not where it is. Confinement, semi-confinement, or pasture: all systems can reduce emissions through strategies such as feed efficiency, manure management, and the use of renewable energy. The future of milk depends on sustainability across all production models.
