Brazilian Ethanol’s Green Methods
By Mr Ethanol | August 17, 2007
Washington Post:
Regarding the July 31 Business article “Losing Forests to Fuel Cars”:
The firm Adecoagro is widely recognized for its environmentally sound practices. We have an explicit policy of not clearing native vegetation, and we don’t subcontract to farmers who do. Adecoagro restores land surrounding springs, streams, wetlands, steep hills, hilltops and other sensitive areas. As part of this program, we are restoring and setting aside reserves equal to 20 percent of our farmland, as Brazilian law requires. Finally, our ethanol projects are in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, not in the Cerrado.
