Socio-environmental monitoring of the cattle sector in Brazil

As understanding of the social and environmental impact of cattle increases, so do efforts to move towards more responsible cattle supply chains. However, cattle traceability in Brazil remains challenging as cattle might pass through many different farms between birth and slaughter – meaning there are many indirect suppliers.

This document is part of a series of briefing notes about responsible sourcing and production.
