The model allows for the recuperation of degraded pastures and, by planting grass in between soy fields, there is a positive impact on the soil nutrient value as well.
Implementing the model at such scale is operationally and technically ambitious, as it targets investing in the improved rotation of agriculture with cattle raising on most of the productive farm area. It thus serves as an example to the market of effective and large-scale intensification, while still protecting natural forest and meeting the Forest Code.
In addition, the purpose of the project is to ensure, through the Landscape Protection Plan (LPP), the promotion of this model to peers, to the market and via credible industry institutions. As &Green’s first investment in Brazil, this sends a message about supporting players that operate beyond “business-as-usual” from a production and protection perspective.
