It is also a key crop and a huge foreign exchange earner for Argentina, the world\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcr.com.ar\/es\/mercados\/investigacion-y-desarrollo\/informativo-semanal\/noticias-informativo-semanal\/argentina-en\">third-largest<\/a> producer, behind the United States and Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>Although soy\u2019s cultivation in Argentina dates back to the early 20th century, its expansion and elevation to the \u201ctop of the crops\u201d has taken place in the last few decades. While some <a href=\"https:\/\/cdsa.aacademica.org\/000-062\/394.pdf\">80,000 hectares<\/a> were planted with soy in the 1971-72 season, this number rose to 2 million hectares 10 years later. By 2007-08, this area had multiplied to 16 million hectares, at a time of record-high prices.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_50124\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50124\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/agriculture\/can-gran-chaco-deforestation-food\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-50124\" src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Deforestacio\u0301n_Chaco_Cre\u0301dito_Marti\u0301n_Katz_Greenpeace_2-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Gran Chaco deforestation\" width=\"350\" height=\"233\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-50124\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/agriculture\/can-gran-chaco-deforestation-food\/\">Can the Gran Chaco halt deforestation and provide food?<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This expansion was accompanied by an intense process of land-use change that included forest loss, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/uncategorised\/can-gran-chaco-deforestation-food\/\">in the Gran Chaco biome<\/a> that stretches across northern Argentina. This ecosystem, the second-largest forest in South America after the Amazon, is one of the world\u2019s 24 major \u201cdeforestation fronts\u201d, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3Cwb8ON\">WWF<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Northern Argentina lost over 110,000 hectares of forest in 2021, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/argentina\/story\/issues\/bosques\/preocupante-aumento-de-la-deforestacion-ilegal-en-el-norte-argentino\/\">Greenpeace<\/a> reports. Hern\u00e1n Giardini, coordinator of Greenpeace Argentina\u2019s forestry campaign, told Di\u00e1logo Chino that about half of all deforestation in the country is illegal, either carried out in prohibited areas or with \u201cweak permits\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward with traceability schemes that guarantee soy products are not linked to deforestation could therefore be key, Giardini said. But he warned that long and complex supply chains, as well as the accumulation of soy from different sources at export ports, will continue to make products with illegal origins difficult to trace.<\/p>\n<h2>Responding to demanding markets<\/h2>\n<p>Argentina and the other major agricultural producing nations in South America are facing an increasingly pressing need to move forward with traceability initiatives in response to fresh demands from Europe, one of their key export markets. In December, European Union legislators <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consilium.europa.eu\/en\/press\/press-releases\/2022\/12\/06\/council-and-parliament-strike-provisional-deal-to-cut-down-deforestation-worldwide\/\">reached an agreement<\/a> over regulations that will seek to ensure that no product sold to the EU comes from deforested land.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEurope is moving fast with restrictions on imports of products that are currently the biggest drivers of global deforestation: soy, meat, cocoa and others,\u201d said Giardini. \u201cIf South American countries want to maintain their agro-export model, deforestation is the main issue to be resolved in the short term,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If Europe starts, the US and the UK will follow, then China, India and almost all the buyers thereafter<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Gustavo Idigoras, president of the Argentine Edible Oil Association (CIARA), made the same diagnosis and lamented a lack of earlier action from producers in anticipation of the new requirements: \u201cThe markets gave us an opportunity to develop these traceability programmes as a niche, but it is now becoming a condition of production and access to these markets, and that is a transformational change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUntil now we could decide whether or not to do something [on traceability], but that will no longer exist. If Europe starts, the United States and the United Kingdom will follow, and then <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/agriculture\/41602-china-should-play-its-part-in-curbing-soy-driven-ecosystem-loss\/\">China<\/a>, India and almost all the buyers thereafter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Several crop traceability initiatives are already underway in Argentina, coming both from individual companies and other groups working at the sectoral level.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49409\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49409\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/agriculture\/49402-bitcow-cryptocurrencies-break-into-argentinas-agricultural-sector\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-49409\" src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/KK1ANF-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"criptomoneda blockchain agro argentina\" width=\"350\" height=\"262\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-49409\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/agriculture\/49402-bitcow-cryptocurrencies-break-into-argentinas-agricultural-sector\/\">BitCow: Cryptocurrencies break into Argentina\u2019s agricultural sector<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One small-scale example is <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ucrop.it\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ucrop.it<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an Buenos Aires-based start-up that &#8211; through a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lanacion.com.ar\/economia\/campo\/soja-sustentable-productores-podran-acceder-mayor-precio-nid2487647\/\">partnership<\/a> with commodity trader Viterra Argentina &#8211; offers soy producers more favourable crop values if they make their production data available via its app from the sowing stage through to the harvest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, multinational trader and soy processor Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) has made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ldc.com\/ar\/es\/press-releases\/ldc-se-compromete-a-incrementar-porcentaje-de-soja-sustentable-procesada-en-argentina-a-partir-de-record-batido-en-2021\/\">commitments<\/a> to increase its percentage of sustainable soy output in Argentina.

It targets innovative and sustainable agricultural production models for the Gran Chaco region, across environmental, economic and social indicators. The project works closely with 100 small- and medium-scale farmers working on 250,000 hectares in the Chaco, monitoring and promoting practices for sustainable intensification that boost production on their existing lands, as well as restoring degraded soils.<\/p>\n<p>According to Federico Fritz, a specialist in sustainable development at AACREA, the association hopes to have evaluated the initiative by 2024, which will allow them to identify and understand the most successful practices for sustainable soy production in the Chaco.<\/p>\n<p>Another LIF-funded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landinnovation.fund\/project-library\/good-agricultural-pracitces-and-carbon-capture?rq=proyungas\">project<\/a> is being carried out by the Argentine conservation foundation ProYungas, together with the Argentine Association of Direct-Seeding Producers (AAPRESID). Working at three pilot sites in the Gran Chaco over the course of three years, it aims to strengthen cooperation between farmers and civil society organisations, to support best practices, conservation and restoration of native vegetation on soy farms, and to enhance the value of standing forests. \u201cWe are targeting land management at a landscape scale, and working to measure the carbon footprint of the entire soybean chain,\u201d said Sebasti\u00e1n Malizia of ProYungas.<\/p>\n<h2>New monitoring platform<\/h2>\n<p>The LIF is also funding an ambitious three-year project, managed by CIARA, called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landinnovation.fund\/es\/biblioteca-de-proyectos-espaol\/visec-plataforma-de-monitoreo-en-el-gran-chaco\">VISEC<\/a>: a monitoring platform for the soy supply chain in Argentina that combines public and private systems and seeks to trace the crop in priority conservation areas in the Gran Chaco \u2013 and ultimately curb deforestation.<\/p>\n<p>Launched in May 2022, the VISEC system aims to bring together monitoring and verification data for all the soy traded in Argentina on one unified platform, covering various environmental and social sustainability parameters and requirements. The initiative will require participation and contributions from across the supply chain, from farmers and traders to surrounding communities, looking to create a transparent, publicly accessible database.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Traceability has to be a consensual collective action<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Id\u00edgoras said the programme goes beyond the individual initiatives of specific companies to target a zero-deforestation certification for the entire Argentine soy supply chain. \u201cWe have been working on this platform for three years now,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been talking to the organisations that represent Argentina\u2019s 80,000 soybean producers, brokers, stockpilers and cooperatives. We are convinced that this has to be a consensual collective action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The challenge lies in implementing the system to meet market demands and provide \u201creal and effective guarantees\u201d of traceability and transparency, said Idigoras, who reiterated the goal of ensuring all soy oil, meal and bean exports are 100% deforestation-free: \u201cThe level of soy from illegal deforestation is less than 5% of annual production [in Argentina], which is low compared to other countries. We want to get to zero \u2013 that\u2019s what we are going to work for.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several businesses and producer organisations are making efforts to
