Description Key Messages
• A governance approach, combining public policy and private initiatives was effective in slowing down deforestation, but
was unable to support a transition to more sustainable production systems.
• New technical intensification models must be identified for low-productivity systems in degraded lands, adapted to the
biophysical and sociotechnical conditions of the Amazonian landscapes.
• Multiple constraints inhibit progress toward sustainable intensification of cattle ranching, and reversing them requires that
all such constraints be addressed in a coordinated way.
• Designing options that work for all stakeholders, and monitoring and verifying progress of territories toward sustainability
is essential to support current public policies and private initiatives.
