Deforestation for Soy Continues in Brazilian Cerrado
Despite the looming European Union's anti-deforestation law (EUDR), agricultural producers in Brazil's Cerrado savanna continue to clear land for soy production.
A recent investigation by Earthsight, a nonprofit organization, found that two of the three producers identified in their "Secret Ingredient" report continued to clear land for soy in the past year.
The "Secret Ingredient" report established links between chicken sold by McDonald's and at supermarkets in Europe, and soy produced on deforested land in the Cerrado.
- The EUDR is set to come into force, making the soy products noncompliant with the new law.
- Earthsight's investigation highlights the ongoing issue of deforestation in the Cerrado region.
Author's summary: Deforestation for soy production continues in Brazil's Cerrado despite EU law.
