We use a computable general equilibrium model to analyze how trade, land use, and agricultural production will change as a result of the agreement. We then use a statistical model to spatially allocate the predicted deforestation within the Brazilian Amazon.

El Perú y buena parte del globo viven actualmente una crisis agroalimentaria. Si consideramos que alrededor del 10% de la humanidad sufre de hambre, a pesar de que la producción de alimentos es suficiente para todos, debe concluirse que hay “fallas” en el sistema alimentario, como nos lo ha recordado el secretario general de las NNUU, António Guterres a propósito de la realización de la Cumbre Global de Sistemas Alimentarios, realizada en setiembre del 2021.
