Resumo:
The current global food system cannot provide food security for all. Its regulatory framework is not enough to guarantee economic access to food to all people. This coupled with the pressures of population growth up to 2050 puts the availability of food as key issue. Brazil is a key country on this issue country for being a major producer and exporter of food and inputs, and owning land and water to subsidize expansion. However, food production generates many externalities. Actions to prevent and mitigate negative environmental externalities are critical, especially in countries where production occurs. The continuous availability of food and the agricultural sector itself depend on the environment for reproduction over time. This thesis analyzes the existing planning and evaluation mechanisms in Brazil to ensure that the direct and indirect externalities of deforestation for food production are addressed. In the end, it is understood that despite the diversity and number of mechanisms, these do not have the scale, complexity and integration needed for territorial organization of the continuous production of beef and soybeans in Brazil up to 2050 and the protection of biomes. The analyzed mechanisms did not consider the direct externalities of deforestation in a satisfactory way. Recommendations are: to integrate indicators of the direct and indirect externalities of deforestation in evaluation and planning mechanisms; to create and enforce the Ecological Economic Zoning in Brazil including zones of no deforestation; and that a multi-sectoral Forum be established to create governance conditions for the implementation of the previous recommendations.
