Sounds like the Brazilian government is taking a step in the right direction. The Brazilian environment minister has come to an agreement with the grain industry to stop buying soy farmed on deforested land in the Amazon rainforest. The same kind of deal is planned for timber and beef industry.

I really hope this will slow down the deforestation of the Amazon as the deforestation has picked up this year after a few years of declining. In April 434 square miles of trees were cut down in the Amazon rainforest so something need to be done ASAP.
The current food crisis in the world will make it hard to protect the rainforests..
