Deforestation/LandUseChange
25%of global land use, land-use
change and forestry emissions are driven by beef production,
including conversion of forests in the Brazilian Amazon.

The Tropical Forest Alliance 2020 (TFA 2020) is a global public-private partnership in which partners take voluntary actions, individually and in combination, to reduce the tropical deforestation associated with the sourcing of commodities such as palm oil, soy, beef, and paper and pulp.
Supply Change is the data aggregation and company profiling platform that tracks public corporate commitments to, and progress towards, eliminating deforestation from the “big four” agricultural commodity supply chains most strongly linked to global deforestation: palm, soy, timber & pulp, and cattle.2

What is a forest? What is deforestation?
More than 800 definitions of forests.
Loss of trees vs change in land use.
Conversion of Natural Ecosystems
Zero deforestation means no forest areas are cleared or converted.
Zero net deforestation allows for the clearance or conversion of forests in one area as long as an equal area is replanted elsewhere.
Zero Deforestation versus Zero Net Deforestation
Looking beyond forests to also include other natural landscapes (eg: grasslands).
