Agribusiness Rush in the MATOPIBA Region, in Brazil
The region between the states of Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí and Bahia, known as MATOPIBA in Brazil., is considered the showcase of Brazilian agribusiness, with a high productions of soy and corn for export. However, this predatory model has rushed deforestation in the biome’s region, Cerrado, which is one of the most threatened biomes in Brazil and extremely important for the supply of aquifers throughout Latin America. The agribusiness expansion puts traditional communities and natural resources at risk.
A Greenpeace study shows that this sick model of production does not create a balanced wealth, but the opposite.
In original language:
Avanço do agronegócio na região da MATOPIBA, Brasil.
A região entre os estados do Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí e Bahia, conhecida como MATOPIBA no Brasil, é considerada a vitrine do agronegócio brasileiro, com alto rendimento de grãos para exportação, como soja e milho.
Para os produtores, o desmatamento e a aniquilação das comunidades locais é o preço a pagar pelo "progresso". Um estudo do Greenpeace explica isso e mostra que esse modelo de produção doente não produz uma riqueza equilibrada, mas o oposto.
