The Novo Campo Program promotes sustainable practices on cattle ranches in the Amazon region, improving their economic, social and environmental performance.

Pecsa is a cattle ranching management and partnership firm founded in June 2015 and based in Alta Floresta in the northern region of Mato Grosso state. Their mission is to transform cattle ranching in the Amazon into a sustainable business. This is an example of a business that provides deforestation-free products.

This website provides a quick overview of the preliminary results of sustainable cattle ranching in the Amazon, with links to additional resources.

The Collaboration for Forests and Agriculture is a joint effort of the National Wildlife Federation, The Nature Conservancy, World Wildlife Fund and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. The collaboration supports companies to align, develop and implement deforestation-free commitments for beef and soy in the Brazilian Amazon and Cerrado, and the Gran Chaco in Argentina and Paraguay by improving decision-support tools, enhancing information transparency and unlocking financial incentives.

The GFTN links more than 100 companies, communities and governments in over 15 countries to create market incentives for responsible forestry and trade practices. The initiative was established in 1991 and is the world’s longest-running and largest forest and trade programme of its kind.
