Deforestation in Brazil is cutting down about 2.7 million acres of land per year, destroying around 6,200 plant and animal species. This is affecting Brazil's environment. One way to help reduce deforestation is by making sugarcane more efficient for producing ethanol through embryo mutation, which could allow plants to produce higher yields and meet fuel demands while saving forest land. The document provides information on how sugarcane ethanol production and embryo mutation technology may help address deforestation issues in Brazil.

2. Overview
T raise awareness about deforestation in
o
Brazil and how it can be prevented
through sugarcane embryo mutation, in
the near future. In Brazil about 2.7 million
acres are cut down per year. About 6,200
plant and animal species are destroyed
each year.

8. Embryogenesis
What is it?
- a gene that can alter a
plants structure
Why use it?
- can produce more
which creates more
bioethanol
Benefits?
- is immune to various
virus's and insects etc
