Reforestation Allied to APP's Areas and Certification to Maximize Profits in Rural Properties

Abstract

The reduction in the emission of gases that cause the greenhouse effect and the promotion of sustainable development brought an investment opportunity, since companies, currently, must have commitments and targets for reducing the emission of gases according to international agreements. Based on this principle, a large market niche for Brazilian agribusiness is found here, since developed countries have large productive chains, through their industries, which are pillars of the market and world economic development, the need arises to combine productivity, gain and environmental responsibility, which often fail to maintain a perfect balance. The objective of the work is to disseminate the certification for the emission of carbon credits, through reforestation and preservation of APP's areas as a new way to increase profits in the Brazilian agribusiness rural sector. The proposed methodology was based on a theoretical and documentary review, to deepen the idea and provide a better understanding of the subject. Dissertations and theses were read to understand how carbon credit certification works. At the end of the study, the economic viability of investments in reforestation was verified, together with the areas of APP's to expand the income of the rural producer.
