Cattle ranching emerges as one of the main activities in the Brazilian Amazon. In the last decades, this activity expanded strongly in that region, a growth that should continue in the future. This manuscript summarizes the challenges and evolution of cattle ranching in the Brazilian Amazon, including their historical beginning. Emphasis is placed on the past 40 years of research experience accumulated by Embrapa on management and reclamation of degraded pasture areas in the Amazon.
This document represents an important contribution by Embrapa in this strategic area for food security, environmental preservation and economic
growth in the Amazon region. The expectation is that this paper might provide a new view on this oftenmisunderstood area of knowledge, influencing research investment decisions and public policies in the Brazilian Amazon.
