2018/12/18. New paper out! Led by Rachael Garrett of Boston University, "Criteria for effective zero-deforestation commitments" is the result of an expert meeting at SESYNC last year. We examine what would be needed for private "zero-deforestation" commitments to make a difference, and review existing commitments in the light of these criteria. This review of existing commitments highlights important shortcomings, including a small overall market share, a lack of commitments covering entire biomes, and a reliance on "zero-net" deforestation targets and future implementation deadlines.

2018/10/22. Do restrictive environmental policies lead to more intensification in agriculture? New evidence suggests they do. In a new article, "Intensification in agriculture-forest frontiers: Land use responses to development and conservation policies in Brazil", led by Rachael Garrett and published in Global Environmental Change, we find that changes in public and private governance in the Brazilian Amazon in the 2000s led to substantial intensification of crop and pasture lands.

This paper, led by Patrick Meyfroidt, is the product of a Global Land Programme workshop that brought together an amazing group of land systems scholars in March 2017.
