Via SeletunEnergy Refuge has contributed an article to Triple Pundit about a proposal to alter Brazil’s legislation that regulates the relationship between farmers and ranchers with the forest coverage on their properties.

Several agribusiness sectors have an economic interest in altering the code to suit their businesses, including sugar cane producers who provide the raw material for ethanol.
