Decarbonizing agriculture: ideas for transformation and cooperation in Brazil and Denmark

  • Institutional

The restoration of natural landscapes, such as secondary forests, is gaining prominence as an effective tool in combating climate change due to its high carbon sequestration potential. In Brazil, extensive cattle ranching is a major driver of deforestation, threatening biodiversity and natural resources. To address these challenges, international collaboration is essential. This event will bring together experts from Brazil and Denmark, two nations committed to sustainability, to discuss innovative solutions for decarbonizing the agricultural sector. The aim is to share practices, technologies, and policies that foster sustainable agriculture and to encourage partnerships between the public and private sectors.
