Osvaldo is a geographic information systems specialist who joined Trase in 2021. He works on mapping supply chains and analysing data for key audiences in South America and China. Before joining Trase, Osvaldo worked at The Nature Conservancy Brazil as the technical coordinator of the Agroideal decision support system, with a focus on soy and beef production chains in Amazon, Cerrado and Chaco biomes. Osvaldo holds degrees in Geography from the State University of São Paulo (BA, 2008), and Agronomy from the University of São Paulo (MA, 2011) and the University of Toulon-Var (PhD, 2014).
Companies buying beef from Brazil should take a data-driven approach to assessing the risks of slaughterhouses and farms supplying cattle linked to deforestation, according to a new report by Trase.
Instituto Centro de Vida and Trase have published a new dataset on deforestation permits that could help companies, regulators and financial institutions manage deforestation risks in supply chains.
Trase maps global supply chains of agricultural commodities, providing insight into how consumer markets are linked to deforestation and other environmental impacts via their imports. This explainer on Brazilian beef presents the results of our analysis of the latest data for 2021, 2022 and 2023.
Rates of deforestation and conversion linked to the expansion of soy production in Brazil increased according to the latest Trase data for 2021–2022.
A new global dataset on commodity-driven deforestation called DeDuCE is helping governments, companies and civil society assess the deforestation exposure of producer and consumer countries. Its use reveals six insights to inform the transition to zero-deforestation trade in beef, soy, palm oil and other important commodities.
Investing in pasture recovery could make a huge contribution to improving the environmental performance of beef production in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso. New analysis by Trase of data from Brazil’s Remote Sensing and Geoprocessing Laboratory (LAPIG) shows where these investments would be most beneficial.
The rate of deforestation and land conversion driven by the expansion of pasture for beef production in Brazil increased by 60% between 2016 and 2020, while the Amazon and Cerrado continue to be cleared despite zero-deforestation commitments made by beef producers.
Trase analysis of the EU’s draft due diligence regulation finds that the proposal fails to account for more than half of the bloc’s deforestation risk from imports of soy due to its exclusion of soy used in animal feed.
