Abstract Rising competition for crop usage presents policy challenges exacerbated by poor understanding of where crops are harvested various uses. Here we create high-resolution global maps showing seven broad use categories—food, feed, processing, export, industrial, seed and losses. Yields food low relative to other crop-use categories. It is unlikely, given current trends, that the minimum calorie requirement eliminate projected undernourishment 2030 will be met through direct...

The Cerrado is one of the most threatened biomes in South America. To create protection actions on any scale, understanding drivers and consequences land cover use (LC LU) essential. This study defines composition configuration a landscape watershed from 1975 to 2011. Using Landsat images socioeconomic census data, we determined forces acting LC LU change processes their consequences. classes differ for dominance processes. Economic opportunities drove its spatial distribution was related...

The Amazon Forest is an unquestionable cradle of planetary biological diversity and plays a fundamental role in regional global climate change regulation. Annual deforestation rates the Brazilian have gone up since 2012, presenting grim scenario for 2021. majority this illegal, but significant proportion, 11.3 million hectares forest privately owned land, can be legally deforested impact local climate, compromising Brazil’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to Paris Agreement. Thus,...

Abstract The increased availability of remote sensing products and new legislative agendas are driving a growing focus on farm‐level traceability monitoring to tackle commodity‐driven deforestation. Here, we use data land change in Brazil (1985–2021) from Mapbiomas demonstrate how analyses the drivers deforestation sensitive scale analysis: while pixel‐ or property‐level identify proximate deforestation, at larger scales (subnational regions countries) capture more complex dynamics,...

<title>Abstract</title> Brazil emerged as an agricultural powerhouse in the last four decades, producing 33% of world’s soybeans and 14% its beef. Historically, much that growth has come at expense native ecosystems. A growing body work suggests this paradigm is outdated brings negative social environmental outcomes. Here, we provide integrated analysis alternate pathway to solve puzzle based on a scenario land-use allocation governance. We compare it with business-as-usual through lens...

Abstract Background At least 30% of outpatient antibiotic prescriptions are unnecessary. Outpatient stewardship can improve prescribing and minimize the threat resistance. We assessed primary care physicians’ (PCPs) perceptions resistance, inappropriate use, need for impact activities. Methods conducted a national survey 1,550 internal family medicine physicians pediatricians recruited from medical market research panel. Quotas were established to recruit participants by geographic region...
