Challenge for the next 10 years

WHO WE ARE

• set up in late 2007, formally constituted in June 2009;

• made up of representatives from different segments from the value

chain;

• debates and formulates principles, standards and common practices to

be adopted by the sector which contribute to the development of

sustainable beef production in the triple bottom line;

• members of the RT plan to be proactive given these challenges, leading

dialogue and creating agreements to work towards sustainable cattle

farming, aware of the social and environmental responsibility held by all

those involved ;

• committed to zero deforestation, with the creation of the conditions

and forms of compensation to make it viable.DRAFT

MEMBERS (> 60)

GOVERNANCE

Working Groups

Technical Economic Incentives Dissemination

To find technical alternatives for better efficiency in:

• Pasture and land conservation• Nutrition• Health• Genetics• Welfare• Traceability• Management • Agreement to legislation

Indicators – define performance criteria and indicators MRV (Measurable, Reportable and Verifiable)

Scientific - GHG emissions, water database

To finance the development of sustainable production

• Improving Credit Management for sustainable cattle farming, reducing the demands in processes and making financial management of rural businesses one of the requirements for credit to be approved

• Promoting environmental and agrarian upgrading of farms, creating social and environmental incentives such as paying for environmental services

• Development of public policy on long-term financing for sustainable cattle farming and the training of financial agents for this differentiated credit to be approved

To disseminate solutions:

• Scientific knowledge management –(e.g.: Sustainable Cattle Farming Guide)

• Reorganization of education and training and the creation of demonstration units

• Adoption of model farms (public and private) to be benchmarks in sustainable production

• Improvement of communications with the media and better articulation between representative bodies in the sector
