Agribusiness, traceability and law: how technology can ensure deforestation-free supply chains
COMO A TECNOLOGIA PODE GARANTIR CADEIAS PRODUTIVAS LIVRES DE DESMATAMENTO
Abstract
Brazilian agribusiness accounts for nearly half of national exports and places the country at the center of global debates on sustainability. The approval of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, which requires proof of deforestation-free origin for agricultural and forestry commodities, highlights the growing connection between international trade and environmental protection. This article analyzes traceability as a legal and technological instrument capable of reconciling international regulatory demands with Brazil’s productive reality. It examines the global and domestic regulatory framework, discusses the role of monitoring and certification technologies, and assesses their practical impacts on public administration, the business sector, and society. The conclusion emphasizes that traceability should be understood as a strategic asset, not merely as a compliance requirement, but as an opportunity for regulatory innovation and for strengthening Brazil’s competitive position in international markets.
