Download or read book Balancing Agricultural Development and Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon written by Andrea Cattaneo and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2002 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s, federal policies promoting migration and encouraging agricultural development of large farms, logging, and ranching have led to the deforestation of vast areas of the Amazon rainforest.Though these policies have largely been replaced, deforestation continues. What effects do current macroeconomic and regional policies and events have on deforestation and on the well-being of settlers on the agricultural frontier? This report identifies the links between the agriculture and logging sectors in the Amazon, economic growth, poverty alleviation, and natural resource degradation in the region and in Brazil as a whole.It considers the effects of currency devaluation, building roads and other infrastructure in the Amazon, property rights, adoption of technological change, and fiscal incentives and disincentives to deforest.The results are sometimes counterintuitive, but shed new light on why slowing deforestation is so difficult and on the trade-offs between environmental and economic goals.

Download or read book The Dynamics of Deforestation and Economic Growth in the Brazilian Amazon written by Lykke E. Andersen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-12-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multi-disciplinary team of authors analyze the economics of Brazilian deforestation using a large data set of ecological and economic variables. They survey the most up to date work in this field and present their own dynamic and spatial econometric analysis based on municipality level panel data spanning the entire Brazilian Amazon from 1970 to 1996. By observing the dynamics of land use change over such a long period the team is able to provide quantitative estimates of the long-run economic costs and benefits of both land clearing and government policies such as road building. The authors find that some government policies, such as road paving in already highly settled areas, are beneficial both for economic development and for the preservation of forest, while other policies, such as the construction of unpaved roads through virgin areas, stimulate wasteful land uses to the detriment of both economic growth and forest cover.

Download or read book Local Demand, Urbanization and Amazonian Metropolitan Regions Impacts on Deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon written by Sergio André Castelani and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper estimates how much of the amazon deforestation is due to the consumption of goods and services from households who live within the amazon region itself, comparing it to deforestation driven by consumers who live outside amazon. As the Brazilian Amazon contains 5 big metropolitan regions, and in order to take into account this referred urbanization process, it not only compare the effects of demand from within and outside Brazilian Amazon, but also with the isolated effects from consumption of households who live within the metropolitan areas of Brazilian Amazon from the consumption of families who live within Amazon, but outside those metropolitan regions. Using an inter-regional input-output model with socioeconomic data, and crossing this database with information on land use transition from forest areas to agricultural and livestock land use, it finds robust evidence that these local demand vectors play an important role in terms of the deforestation they drive. Results show that even though local population from the Amazon region represents only 13% of total Brazilian population, it drives around 30% of the total deforestation taking place within the region, through its direct and indirect consumption of the output produced in forest areas. The demand from families who live within the Amazonia metropolitan regions is responsible for more than a half of this 30%, even though only 25% of Amazon population live in these areas. In per capita terms, results also show that the demand from one individual living within the Amazon region, but outside the metropolitan areas, generates 2.2 more deforestation than the consumption vector of one individual living outside Amazon, but within Brazil. For the consumption vector of one individual living within the Amazon metropolitan regions, the deforestation impact is even higher, it is 7.7 times the impact of the demand from one individual living outside Brazilian Amazon. The results concerning the economic multipliers and generators, as well as the ones focusing only on the output per sector driven by each regional demand vector also point to this same direction. Therefore, these results bring evidence that support the theoretical expectations from spatial economics that local demand and the urbanization process taking place within Brazilian Amazon play an important role in terms of the deforestation it might cause.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barbosa (sociology, San Francisco State University) provides a global, world-systemic analysis of the problem of deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest. He shows how changes in global ecopolitics demanding sustainable development, coupled with the onset of democracy in Brazil, substantially altered the battle over the future of Amazonia. He describes deforestation in the region in the context of an expanding frontier of global capitalism, and compares Amazon experiences with those of Costa Rica, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key messages A governance approach, combining public policy and private initiatives was effective in slowing down deforestation, but was unable to support a transition to more sustainable production systems.New technical intensification models must be identified for low-productivity systems in degraded lands, adapted to the biophysical and sociotechnical conditions of the Amazonian landscapes.Multiple constraints inhibit progress toward sustainable intensification of cattle ranching, and reversing them requires that all such constraints be addressed in a coordinated way.Designing options that work for all stakeholders, and monitoring and verifying progress of territories toward sustainability is essential to support current public policies and private initiatives.

Download or read book A Cost-benefit Analysis of Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon written by Lykke E. Andersen and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper compares the Total Economic Value of standing Amazonian rain forest with the Net Present Value of alternative agricultural land uses. It is shown that, at the current level of deforestation, the potential benefits of deforestation are higher than the expected costs. As the level of deforestation increases, however, the global costs of deforestation will rise, and eventually pass the value of agricultural land. At that point, the international community will have to provide incentives to induce Brazil to preserve the remainder of its rain forest.
