ブラジル・セラード地域におけるサトウキビ、コーヒー、肉牛生産のカーボンフットプリントを、自然火災で劣化した地域と比較。ライフサイクルアセスメントにより、環境・経済・社会的側面を評価。サトウキビが最も良好な炭素収支を示し、コーヒーが最高の利益を生む。持続可能な生産システムが気候緩和と地域開発に貢献する可能性を示唆。
English
This study compares the carbon footprint of sugarcane, coffee, and beef cattle production in the Brazilian Cerrado against areas degraded by natural fires. Using life cycle assessment, it evaluates environmental, economic, and social aspects. Sugarcane shows the best carbon balance, while coffee yields highest profit. Findings suggest sustainable production in fire-degraded areas can aid climate mitigation and local development.

日本のGX文脈において
ブラジルの事例だが、日本の農業・畜産におけるカーボンフットプリント算定や森林法（林地残存）との関連で参考になる。ただし、直接的な政策連動は弱い。
In the global GX context
This paper provides empirical data on agricultural carbon footprints and land-use trade-offs, relevant to global discussions on sustainable commodity production and climate mitigation. It highlights the role of legal reserves in carbon accounting, which may inform similar frameworks elsewhere.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This research investigated the carbon footprint of two agricultural systems (sugarcane and coffee) and a livestock system (beef cattle) in the Brazilian Cerrado compared to areas frequently degraded by natural fires. Through a life cycle assessment approach (cradle-to-farm-gate), environmental, economic, and social aspects were evaluated. The carbon footprint results represent greenhouse gas emissions calculated per hectare for one complete production cycle. The results showed low emissions in areas degraded by natural fires (1.57 tCO2/ha) compared to beef cattle production (6.2 tCO2eq/ha), coffee (4.5 tCO2eq/ha), and sugarcane (2.9 tCO2eq/ha). When the carbon balance was performed, integrating production-cycle emissions, annualized productive biomass sequestration, and structural carbon stock associated with the 20% Legal Reserve required under the Brazilian Forest Code, sugarcane presented the most favorable result (− 198.7 tCO2eq/ha), followed by coffee (− 144 tCO2eq/ha) and beef cattle (− 141.2 tCO2eq/ha). These negative values indicate that, under maintained management conditions and regulatory compliance, total structural carbon stocks exceed operational emissions within the defined accounting boundary, rather than representing permanent annual net-negative emission systems. Economically, coffee generated the highest profit (USD 3256.58/ha), followed by sugarcane production (USD 1941/ha) and livestock (USD 364/ha). From the social perspective of production systems, the negative impacts of coffee, beef cattle, and sugarcane are related to the subcategories of forced labor and equal opportunities. Our findings demonstrate that sustainable production systems implemented in fire-degraded areas can contribute to climate mitigation, ecosystem restoration, and local socio-economic development when aligned with environmental legislation and responsible management practices.
