Soya Production in the Brazilian Cerrado Region

Documentation of the impact of rapidly expanding soya production on forests, people and wildlife in the Brazilian Cerrado, the world’s most wildlife-rich Savannah. Soya from the region is being imported into the EU by international traders and sold to major household brands, many of which have promised to end their role in deforestation for commodities by 2020.
