Agricultural Drivers: Key Questions about Cattle Ranching Intensification Projects (CRIPS) Geoff Evans Humane Society International 27 November 2012

(Animal) Agriculture as a Driver : >55% new tropical agricultural land at expense of intact forests 70% of previously forested Amazon used as pasture Michelle Riley/The HSUS

Cattle Ranching Intensification Projects (CRIPS) What are they? – reducing GHGs by increasing the intensity of cattle product output per unit pastureland Potential benefits? – Increase production but without exacerbating Deforestation Deforestation-related climate change

Key Questions/Concerns for CRIPS 1.May incentivize further deforestation. 2.Heavy reliance on private sector players. 3.No safeguards for animal welfare, or accounting for additional environmental externalities. 4.Not pro poor. 5.Necessary government mechanisms are not sufficiently functional.
