SUMMARY:

Brazil has the largest commercial cattle herd in the world and is the largest exporter and second largest producer of beef globally. Various factors contribute to the country's leadership in this market, such as the size of the producing areas, genetic profile of the herd, productivity, and diversity of arrangements in the production chain. However, the Brazilian beef industry has faced opposition in the international market due to its expansion into land located in the Amazon biome. This opposition creates non-tariff barriers by importing countries as a means of discouraging production in areas subject to recent deforestation, or labor practices that do not comply with national legislation. This scenario has required the development of objective criteria for measuring the environmental sustainability of livestock farming, especially within the rural property. The objective of this study was to apply the "Farm Environmental Quality" method to quantify the degree of sustainability of beef cattle farming in livestock farms located in the southwest of the Brazilian Amazon. The method was applied through a structured questionnaire evaluating the five dimensions (management, cultural, economic, environmental, and landscape). The interviews were conducted with eight rural property managers between June and September 2022. The properties were grouped according to their size into medium and large properties, respectively corresponding to four to ten fiscal modules (unit for rural territorial tax in Brazil which corresponds to an area that should be sufficient for a family to have income, survive and prosper.) or above ten fiscal modules. Four properties were evaluated in each grouping, totaling eight properties. More than 75% of the properties had a sustainability index above 0.7, which was established as the threshold between sustainable and non-sustainable
