In this talk, Dr. Gillian Galford draws on geospatial and remote sensing analyses combined with geopolitical and socioeconomic perspectives to show how deforestation\u2014primarily for pasture\u2014often precedes cropland development. Shifts in crop rotations reveal both intensifying land use and expanding agricultural frontiers, while global trade demand accelerates these changes. Together, these dynamics illuminate the powerful forces reshaping one of Earth\u2019s most critical ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brazil\u2019s Cerrado, the world\u2019s most biodiverse savanna, is being rapidly transformed by agriculture and global markets.
