IMPACT –
Producers Engagement with the MACS
Caldenes S.A.
↑ awareness that sustainable beef demand will increase in the short-term.
Export markets: sustainability as a non-tariff barrier in the future.
Synthetic meat as a threat Vs. Sustainable beef as a strength and opportunity.
Environmental problems: ↑ floods frequency associated with land use/land cover change. Beef livestock production and GHG emissions.
McDonald’s = MACS driver

↑ members throughout the country (greater representativeness).
↑ awareness locally about responsible consumption.
Work on the legal gaps of Territorial Management of Native Forests Law (yellow zones).
Align domestic sanitary requirements with export markets requirements
↑ awareness on animal welfare among cattle transportation
