Title: Beef politics in Brazil
Abstract: It is currently widespread in the scientific literature that food systems present major flaws regarding climate change and human health. Derived from this understanding, the necessity for significant changes is gaining momentum. However, there are several barriers to such changes. This paper analyses one of the most influential: power. To do so, it examines the main agendas and political leverage of four groups of actors in the beef chain in Brazil: cattle ranchers, meatpacking industries, retailers and banks. The research is based on corporate documents and 25 interviews with leaders of the groups. The results show expressive heterogeneity concerning agendas and power.
