2 Michael Thirnbeck Consensus that commodity agriculture is major driver of tropical deforestation Shift from state-initiated to enterprise-driven deforestation (Rudel 2005, 2007) Commercial agriculture largest driver of tropical deforestation (Geist & Lambin 2002; Morton et al. 2006; Macedo et al. 2012) Tropical forests were the primary sources of new agricultural land in the 1980s and 1990s (Gibbs et al. 2010) Export markets increasingly important
3 Multi-Stakeholder Initiatives Industry response to reputational risk, joining with NGOs, involves entire supply chain Roundtables: Palm oil (RSPO), soya (RTRS), biofuels (RSB) Proto-roundtables, Brazilian Sustainable Cattle Working Group Moratoria: Soya (2006), Cattle (2009)
4 Multi-Stakeholder Commodity Roundtables Include producers, traders, retailers and civil society Agree voluntary production standards that improve environmental and social impacts.
5 Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) Established 2004 (preparatory meetings 2002), Principles & Criteria October 2007, certification began 2008 Membership >60% growers and traders, manufacturers and retailers >30%, civil society ~5% Cut-off date November no HCV can be cleared 11% global palm oil certified Eric Wakker Aidenvironment
6 Round Table on Responsible Soy (RTRS) Fernando Cavalcanti Founded November 2006 (meetings began 2004), standards agreed 2009 First certified soy available 2011 Executive Board has 3 equal voting blocks: Producers (20); Industry, Trade and Finance (57); and Civil Society (15) Cut-off date May no native forest cleared after this date can be cultivated
7 Sean Ryan Roundtable Certification Systems Several years to establish and agree on Principles & Criteria Challenge of expanding markets prepared to pay price premium 56% of available certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO) sold in 2010; <50% of all CSPO produced up until the end of 2011 has sold Certificates for CSPO down from $US40/ton in 2008 to $1/ton in 2011, a <1% price premium; current price $4
8 Rachel Kramer/National Wildlife Federation Future of Roundtables Code of Good Practice of the International Social and Environmental Accreditation and Labeling (ISEAL) Alliance, RSB followed from the start Competition Greenhouse gas accounting important issue, impacts land conversion, addressed in different ways and to different extents Consumer demand REDD+
9 The Brazilian Amazon Amazonas Pará Maranhão Acre Rondônia Tocantins Mato Grosso Amazon Biome Amazon States
10 Soya Cultivation in Brazil Adapted from Greenpeace analysis based on data from CONAB, satellite imagery
11 Soya Expansion in the Amazon Companies provide seeds and agrochemicals Construct infrastructure for export As land prices increase in cerrado, agricultural frontier advancing into forest biome
12 Conservation Opportunities Four companies control majority of soya in the Amazon biome, so fewer to negotiate with Agribusiness major role in infrastructure development, a key driver of deforestation All companies depend on Europe as their major customer, where consumer power already had an impact (non-gm market)
13 Greenpeace Soya Campaign
14 Soya Moratorium July 24, Brazilian Association of Vegetable Oil Industries and Brazilian National Association of Grain Exporters agreed to not trade soya from areas within the Amazon biome, that are deforested after July Initial two-year agreement extended until January Soya Working Group established by signatories of moratorium and Brazilian and International NGOs Research by INPE found soybeans planted in only 0.25% of land in the Amazon biome cleared after the moratorium.

20 Rachel Kramer/National Wildlife Federation Brazil- a special case? Sophisticated deforestation mapping and monitoring system High national concern over deforestation Large area of non-forest land available Key industries dominated by a handful of large companies
21 Michael Thirnbeck Moratoria versus Roundtables Moratoria form in months, temporary Set up to protect specific area, easily measurable Require majority adherence simultaneously Roundtable long-term measure to shift markets Can start small and grow, take several years to start certifying, difficulty obtaining premium
22 Michael Thirnbeck New Opportunities: synergies between policy and market measures Brazilian government involved in monitoring deforestation for the soya moratorium Several Amazon states have introduced a rural environmental registry following the G4 cattle agreement Belgium and the Netherlands: import only certified palm oil from 2015
23 Role of Consumers Consumer concern over deforestation has an important influence on corporate procurement policies Lack of willingness to pay premium impediment to growth of producers getting certified U.S. consumers have not shown same concern as those in the E.U.
