It's a well known fact that both US companies and farmers burn and cut the forest at an alarming rate.


The US has been re-foresting for a long time, nearly a century I think. This is likely to accelerate now that the rest of the world is not so depend on US for food (Russia and some ex-USSR areas are turning into significant exporters of food).

Isn't Brazil self-sufficient in food production? Why clear for more farms?
