Monitoring of the Soy Moratorium    Related Pages:  

The Soy Moratorium, signed in July 2006, when industries and exporters members of ABIOVE and ANEC committed themselves not to acquire soy planted in new deforested areas of the Amazon Biome, has just presented its first result: the field evaluation to identify if there were any soy plantations in the deforested area between August 2006 and August 2007.

Through the actionof the GTS (Soy Workgroup), responsible for implementing and controlling the Moratorium process, the Globosat company was hired to locate the deforestations with over 100 hectares, which occurred during the above-mentioned period, in the municipalities that plant soy in the states of Mato Grosso, Pará and Rondônia. Data of INPE's (National Institute of Spatial Researches) PRODES system were used. The company flew over and paid field visits between January 2008 and February 2008 to all deforested areas above 100 hectares to identify how the soil was being used. All the areas were photographed and documented.

This survey has determined that there were no soy plantations in the 193 areas analyzed, which leads to the conclusion that the soy produced in the current crop is not from recent deforested areas in the Amazon Biome with more than 100 hectares.
