             abstract = "Cerrado conservation is essential to the maintenance a number of 
                         species and ecosystem services (ESS), as it holds 30% of national 
                         biodiversity. Considering REDD+ mechanisms facilitate forest 
                         conservation and prevent climate change, these mechanisms 
                         contribute to the maintenance of ESS. The Tocantins state is into 
                         nowadays area of expansion agriculture and livestock in Brazil, 
                         however, the total of production is not completely destinate to 
                         population consumption. The objective of this work was to relate 
                         areas with potential for REDD + and their use for the generation 
                         of calory for human consumption through agricultural production. 
                         Based on SICAR data of limits of properties and land use/cover of 
                         MapBiomas we performed spatial analyses to retrieve relationships 
                         between agricultural and forested areas. Agricultural Census data 
                         (IBGE) will allow the estimation of available calory from regional 
                         agricultural production. The analysis resulted in approximately 
                         484,16 Mha of forested areas prone for REDD+ at the property level 
                         in Tocantins. Despite agricultural expansion in the Cerrado its 
                         based on high technological improvements, part of this production 
                         is not consumed directly by the population, where almost 20% of 
                         soybean production goes to national livestock feeding linked to 
                         increasing meat consumption by population. That is food habits of 
                         Brazilian population is also contributing to land pressure over 
                         forests, but not improving nutrients intake. So REDD+ mechanisms 
                         policies must be considered together with more sustainable food 
                         education habits.",
