3.2 Economic impact of ZT/CA and iCLF-CA management systems adoption
The estimate of the economic impact of adoption of ZT/CA and iCLF-CA management systems (Table 3) considering the data observed in 2017/2018, shows a value of 2.3 billion US dollars, when taken in account the equivalent fertilizer and lime requirements. This considers an impact of 1.4 billion US dollars due to the adoption of ZT/CA in 32.9 million ha of annual crops and of 0.52 billion US dollars in 11.47 million ha of cultivated pastures (not degraded or with little degradation).
