Did Ranchers and Slaughterhouses Respond to Zero‐Deforestation Agreements in the Brazilian Amazon?
New supply chain interventions offer promise to reduce deforestation from expansion of commercial agriculture, as more multinational companies agree to stop sourcing from farms with recent forest clearing. We analyzed the zero‐deforestation cattle agreements signed by major meatpacking companies in the Brazilian Amazon state of Pará using property‐level data on beef supply chains. Our panel analysis of daily purchases by slaughterhouses before and after the agreements demonstrates that they now avoid purchasing from properties with deforestation, which was not the case prior to the agreements. Supplying ranchers registered their properties in a public environmental registry nearly 2 years before surrounding non‐supplying properties, and 85% of surveyed ranchers indicated that the agreements were the driving force. In addition, supplying properties had significantly reduced deforestation rates following the agreements. Our results demonstrate important changes in the beef supply chain, but the agreements’ narrow scope and implementation diminish outcomes for forest conservation.
LA RELEVANCIA ESTRATÉGICA DE VENEZUELA A PARTIR DE LA PERSPECTIVA DE LA SEGURIDAD ENERGÉTICA CHINA
El propósito del artículo consiste en analizar la profundización de las relaciones bilaterales entre China y Venezuela desde mediados del siglo XXI, insertando sus principales motivaciones dentro de un contexto geopolítico. La hipótesis central del artículo considera que esa aproximación posee un fuerte carácter geopolítico y está intrínsecamente relacionada con la búsqueda, emprendida por China, por medios de reducir su vulnerabilidad energética. En ese sentido, el mantenimiento de las relaciones con Venezuela sería estratégico por tres razones principales: dos de naturaleza geográfica (su ubicación y abundancia de petróleo); y otra política (distanciamiento de la influencia norteamericana). Se considera que el entendimiento de esas relaciones, en diversas ocasiones, tiende a ser simplificado, al ahorcar sólo aspectos económicos. La metodología utilizada consiste en dos etapas: una revisión teórica de los aspectos geopolíticos que permean la seguridad energética de China y una sección empírica, destacando las principales instancias que componen el acercamiento con Venezuela.
