The Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock of Brazil (CNA) participated this Monday (12) of the seminar “The Agronomy of the 21st Century and the Professional Training of Brazilian Reality”.
The technical advisor of the National Environmental Commission of the CNA, João Carlos de Petribu de Carli, spoke about the Payment for Environmental Services (PSA) and the actions that the CNA System is doing to develop a program that promotes PES in the agricultural sector.
The subject was the theme of Agro em Questão, conducted by CNA in August, which brought together experts, producers and academics at the headquarters of the Confederation in Brasilia.
“We are starting to show to society that the services provided by the rural producer are important for the conservation of the environment. After all, it is not just letting the vegetation stand, the producer is investing in technologies to maintain the quality of soil and water, for example, “De Carli said.
The technician stressed that currently there is only payment for environmental service in the water resources sector, but that the intention of both the CNA and the entities involved is that the country has legislation directed to this type of payment.
“We have to do our methodology because we have a different reality and legislation from other countries. However, this must be done with the legal certainty of the rural producer. “
