Toward a Low carbon agribusiness - Summary for Brazil August
August in Brazil brought a lot of Multi-stakeholder dialogue!
Mainly focusing on Rio+20.
Especially in agri-business sector.
Government (environmental Ministry) started the month calling business to define what would be for this sector the best way to translate Nagoya goals. Next steps will be to call NGO, academy, communities and, of course the government itself.
New! Agribusiness sector (CNA) also stared a new way to approach theIr discussion toward a low carbon economy!
Adaptation for agribusiness has been on the agenda since - even for the most skeptical - changes started already to happen and agribusiness is already noticing differences.
Scenarios prepared by academics presented 9 crops and some possibilities for 2020, 2040, 2050 if nothing happens in mitigation nor adaptation for Brazil
here some ex(from academia):
coffee:
2020 - Low risk scenario: 10% less yield
in terms of regions, for Brazil the worse would be north-east:
all scenarios would cause changes in production. But 4C increase temp it would become a desert
Soybean (weather dependent):
if nothing change for 2020 it would loose 20% in terms of area
would be some benefit?
Yes for sugarcane (CO2 and high temp related)
Real opportunity:
Coffee/seringueira or fruits: mitigate 1 to 2 C in the coffee area increasing income
Cost for doing nothing in adaptation:
1 MI R$/yr x 10 hrs x 3 years (multiplication)
"The grower need to understand the climate change is serious"
News?
A new Intl Climate Change Lab applied to agriculture is starting to be build inside Unicamp with support from government
To evaluate:
Crop shifts scenarios
Opportunities in terms of breeding and technologies
database Improvement
Systems Management (integration agri-pasture-forestry)
nitrogen opportunities evaluation (since 1kg= 4,5 kg CO2)
investment in drought tolerance
Companies, government, growers and NGOs are all looking for the best way to incorporate costs in the product.
Some good cases but still challenge: looking for regulation and process incorporation from field to market.
Global agricultural demand increasing fuel, food, fiber continuously up to 2030
Stocks in the lowest level. Only the chain, together in a Multi-stakeholder dialogue across countries can generate a real solution.
Beyond good cases, the society needs to incorporate the cost for conservation in the production value.
Without paradigm. And environment ministry in Brazil has been crucial in this path. Agriculture solutions ask for innovative finance services, projects optimization and cradle to cradle Evaluation.
In this search, measures and reports are crucial for companies and for their chain helping evaluation.
Only a coordinated action from field to market can help to build a low carbon economy!

Dialogue about Biodiversity: Brazilian strategy for 2020
From Brasilia, DF:
Minister of Environment started this week a Multi-stakeholder dialogue about Goals established in Nagoya, 2010:
Yesterday with Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development (CEBDS)
Today (happening now!) and tomorrow with National Industry Association (CNI) and business
Next steps academy, civil society, government and local communities
Petrobras presented their strategy:
Started with a Biodiversity area and established 20 goals for 2020 linking those with Nagoya goals.
Mapped all the different areas, planning risks and opportunities in each area with spacial system to help decisions. All the projects need the positioning paper from environmental area and this paper need to be considered.
Studies about biodiversity and monitoring biodiversity
Environmental Program:
Water and Climate (2008 and 2012)
820 partnership
More than 5,000 species
Engagement (CEBDS, CNI, MEB....)
the advancement in the biodiversity support stakeholder and finance analysis
Shareholder question/focus: water and biodiversity
Risks evaluation
Challenges: biodiversity integration in the business
