technology lack the states delays validation Register … – Rural Channel

we have entered the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) 409 million hectares, which corresponds to almost 97% of the area eligible for registration in Brazil. But if this result is encouraging, the same does not occur with the next step of accreditation: the data analysis. So far, only two states have initiated this step. The delay reflects the lack of structure and state of the technology, which is responsible for this procedure.

The evaluation of information is crucial so that farmers can define what needs to be done to rectify the property from an environmental point of view. Only after the data analysis it is possible to join the Environmental Adjustment Program (PRA), and have suspended fines, for example.

According to the Sustainability coordinator of the Committee for the Environment of the Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock of Brazil (CNA), Nelson Ananias Son, the few states that are at this stage still held very little, a reality that creates insecurity to farmers. “We do not know what to make, which make and how we will adhere to the PRA,” says the coordinator.

According to the CNA, the states can not access the system of the Brazilian Forest Service (SFB) to perform the analysis. And the manual process is practically impossible to do. “The same professionals who do this in the states also perform the daily activities of supervision and licensing. No hand enough work to do to analyze the speed we need, “adds Ananias Son.

The SFB states that only Mato Grosso and Acre have already begun the analysis module Rural Environmental Registry. They have been completed or are in progress 1,887 records. Over the next 30 to 60 days, data analysis should also be initiated in seven states. According to the SFB, the delay of the entire process in the country has one main reason:. The lack of infrastructure in the states themselves technology

The Director of Development and Inclusion of the Forest Service, Carlos Eduardo Sturm says that International cooperation coming into operation will change that. The German government, for example, has committed to send EUR 32 million per year to equip Pará, Mato Grosso and Rondonia.

Override

Sturm says that between 15 and 20% of the entries will be considered outstanding for having overlapping areas with other farms, conservation areas or indigenous lands. In all cases, you can correct the information without losses to the farmer.

Producers with such cases should make the land regularization by the federal or state of the environment. “When appears this overlap, we ask that the owner contact the environmental agency to see if there is a title on that area, which probably will not happen, because it is the Union area,” says the director of the SFB.
