Are there any public resources for the bioeconomy in the Amazon? – Executive Summary

In this study, we carried out an assessment of the financial resources made available by federal and state policies that may potentially be used to advance the bioeconomy in the Amazon, taking as an example the states of Pará and Maranhão. We opted to analyze public policies involving significant flows of funds. Our findings reveal that the sources of financial resources assessed by this study largely support agriculture, one of the main drivers of deforestation in the Amazon.
