Scientists urge the EU to focus on sustainable trade with Brazil

In a letter to the journal "Science", 600 scientists have urged decision makes in the EU to put sustainability at the forefront of their proposals for their trade agreements to Brazil.

The EU is in talks with the South American trading bloc, which Brazil is a part of. With Brazil's grasslands and forests at risk, the concern is that an increase in trade will lead to greater deforestation as Brazil expands its agricultural land use to meet the trade demands.
