YOGYAKARTA – World largest beef exporter, JBS Frisboi (Brazil) on September 23 signed an agreement that will not buy cattle raised from the deforestation  in Amazon forest lands.

Based on the book "Climate Change and Livestock Farming", every second of the Amazon rainforest is opened as wide as a football field, and it is only to contribute meat inserted into 257 hamburgers. What lessons can be learned from the JBS Frisboi event?

"Industrial farming has started to realize, whether it is consciousness itself or the pressure from the international world, that the meat comes from deforestation process," said Cape Chindy, Coordinator of Indonesia Vegetarian Society (IVS) of Yogyakarta, Central Java, on Thursday (29/10).

According to Chindy, a lot of information about the farming industry and its impact is not yet known to the public.

National Geographic Special Edition includes writings that energy farming industry, particularly beef, contribute at least 18 percent of global CO2 emissions in the combined emissions from transport and industry. To get the meat, agricultural products needed for livestock feed. Its CO2 emissions had doubled.

UN Agency Climate Leaders Yvo de Boer has also been suggested that the best solution for mankind is to be vegetarian. Queen Beatrix has also called Monday for Day Without Meat.
