ABSTRACT
In this study, authors
analyzed value, production and area used for producing Cerrado’s main
agricultural products, and data on the farms located within this biome and
registered in CAR up until April 2019, by microregion. The territory considered
here comprised all microregions with at least 25% of its area covered by the
Cerrado biome. The production, agricultural production, and planted area values
used were the averages of the 2015 to 2017 harvests, and are shown in graphs
and tables, as are maps of planted areas and groups of main annual crops,
semi-perennial and perennial crops. The areas designated for environmental preservation
(ADPs) are the result of the sum of permanent preservation areas (APP), legal
reserves (RL) and additional vegetation areas within the farms. Authors’ study shows that
most of Brazilian cotton, eucalyptus for charcoal, orange, sugarcane, maize and
soybean are produced in Cerrado, that 28% of Cerrado are ADPs within farms, and
that 16% are areas planted with cotton, eucalyptus, orange, sugarcane, maize,
soybean, coffee, beans, and potatoes. The territory occupied by agricultural
areas and ADPs required by the Brazilian Forest Code shows that agricultural
production and environmental preservation do coexist, and gather the
maintenance of essential ecosystem services provided by the ADPs together with
the development of the country’s relevant agricultural production.
