The Reflexes of the Brazilian Forestry Code in Agribusiness

The research addresses the reflections of the Brazilian Forestry Code inserted in the context of agribusiness, observing its development in parallel with environmental preservation. The objective is to identify the repercussion of forest legislation on agribusiness, promoting reflection on the unrestrained exploitation of nature resources in Brazil, which cause present and future impacts on the environment, especially in Conservation Units. The expansion of agribusiness has advanced and transformed socio-environmental relations, so that the effectiveness of forest legislation is fundamental to ensure an ecologically balanced environment. However, it is essential to highlight the awareness policies for preserving the Conservation Units as a means of achieving the sustainable development of agribusiness. The article is of a descriptive nature, using bibliographic research, data gathering, Brazilian Forest Code legislation and other scientific bases. Thus, it was verified that the current forest rules seek environmental preservation, which is fundamental for the safety of future generations. Also, the agribusiness was benefited, because the Forest Legislation made the suspension of fines more flexible, in the case of the institution of Permanent Preservation Areas and Legal Reserves, besides the creation of the Rural Environmental Cadastre and, consequently, the exemption from the registration of the Legal Reserve.
