Conteúdo: | Sugarcane is one of the main and most environmental friendly crop of Brazilian agriculture. In addition to generating electricity through the bagasse, sugarcane production keeps Brazil as the largest producer and exporter of sugar and assures the running of a huge fleet of ethanol and anhydrous ethanol-fueled vehicles. In the 2015/16 crop production, 10.8 million hectares of sugarcane were planted. Production reached 666.8 million tons of sugarcane, processed into 33.8 million tons of sugar and 30.2 thousand m3 of ethanol (ÚNICA, 2017). The proportion of sugar/ ethanol (food/energy) production varies from year to year following the international prices of each commodity always causing great economic and territorial outcome, particularly for the southeast region and São Paulo State. The sugarcane production chain includes many sustainable management practices, outlined by a model whose territorial management aligns production and environmental preservation. Besides the good agronomic practices in rural properties, the maintenance of native vegetation is present in sugarcane production areas. Numerical and cartographic data (to be published) on sugarcane production and the environment were obtained from the information found on the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR, in Portuguese), which is a management tool established by the Forest Code of 2012, and are presented in this paper. In the state of São Paulo, they depict the size and the territorial distribution of areas dedicated to preservation of native vegetation in rural properties dedicated to sugarcane production in the state of São Paulo.
