San Francisco-Sized Rainforest Bought for Farming
19 Aug
Summary
- Ademar Bedin purchased a vast Amazon tract three years ago.
- The land, as large as San Francisco, was bought for farmland.
- Roraima state's industrial farming expansion is fueling this.
Three years prior to August 19, 2026, Ademar Bedin acquired a substantial tract of old-growth Amazon rainforest. This area, remarkably comparable in size to San Francisco, was purchased with the intention of transforming its dense vegetation into agricultural land.
Bedin's plan mirrors the historical land-use practices of previous generations in Brazil. The specific location for this endeavor is Roraima state, a region experiencing a notable surge in industrial farming operations. Bedin's objective is to clear almost half of the purchased old-growth forest for cultivation.
