    The document discusses the links between beef production in Brazil and deforestation. Specifically, it notes that cattle grazing is the leading driver of deforestation in Brazil, which is the largest exporter of beef in the world. Increased global demand for beef has encouraged further deforestation in Brazil, with the rate rising 88% in 2019 alone. If this trend continues, the Brazilian rainforest is projected to be completely destroyed by 2064.

    BEEF BEEF

    WHY??

    - Cattle grazing is the leading cause of deforestation

    - Brazil is the world’s largest exporter of beef

    - 23% of the world’s beef comes from Brazil

    - Brazil is the most forested country in the world

    - Includes one-third of Earth’s rainforests


    WHY??
    - Due to increased demand, Brazil reopened the rainforest for
    commercial exploitation in 2019
    - Deforestation rose by 88% in that year alone (Fearnside, 2019)
    - A soccer field of rainforest is burned every minute for cattle
    grazing (New York Times, 2019)
    - If this trend continues, Brazilian rainforests will be completely
    destroyed by 2064 (Walker, 2021)
