📋 Tender Overview
This Wednesday (30), was published in, which establishes the rules and guidelines for the 2nd Eco Invest auction, focused on the recovery of degraded land in support of the program Caminho Verde Brasil. The initiative seeks to promote agricultural production systems and sustainable forests, focusing on raising productivity, restoring soil and fostering environmentally responsible practices in the Brazilian field.
Coordinated by the National Treasury Secretariat, in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa), the action is part of the scope of the Eco Invest Brasil program, which uses the blended financial model - combination of public and private resources - to boost investments in regenerative and low carbon practices in national agriculture.
The new round of the auction will finance the first phase of Caminho Verde Brasil, with the potential to recover up to 1 million hectares in the Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, Caatinga, Pampa and Pantanal biomes. The Amazonian biome, due to its complexity and specificity, will be contemplated in an exclusive auction, scheduled for the coming months.
The central objective of the auction is to enable the productive transition from degraded areas by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, encouraging the adoption of sustainable technologies, protection against deforestation and increasing agricultural productivity regarding the environment. The initiative also reinforces the countrys commitment to food security, the preservation of biodiversity and the productive inclusion of small and medium rural producers.
The ordinance establishes rigorous eligibility criteria. The properties must be duly registered and regular in the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR), without deforestation records since December 2023, even if legally authorized. Projects are prevented from participating in embargoed areas, unpaid public forests, conservation units and indigenous or quilombola territories - except when conducted by members of these communities.
