You must have a very large area under cultivation?

Another useful action would be to prevent perverse incentives, for example by using certification standards to ensure that soya beans are not grown on newly cleared lands or lands adjacent to forests.

The WWF report says much of the destruction results from burning of the forest to clear land, which is then used to meet the global demand for soybeans, beef and biofuel.

For most of our history, there has been new land to farm, and we still farm as though there always will be.
