Gisela Introvini, representing FAPCEN and RTRS, as a member of the RTRS Board, presented “Certified Soy and the World Market”, a topic considered to be the greatest novelty to the audience present. It was an opportunity to tell the story of soy, since its introduction in Brazil, focusing on the northeast region and its reach to other states along the equator, building a scenario that shows the inclusion of jobs, compliance with laws and minimizing risks, zero deforestation through voluntary participation by rural producers, with RTRS being a tool for regional sustainable development, bringing the necessary balance to food security and preservation of the Brazilian Cerrado.
The importance of a Certification such as the RTRS
(Round Table Responsible Soy) represents a new concept that increasingly
takes part in the need to break paradigms aimed at observing climate change
that could compromise food security in the world.
