             abstract = "In the 1990s and 2000s, soybean farming grew sharply, particularly 
                         in states located in Brazils mid-west region. To curb 
                         deforestation, the Federal Government implemented command and 
                         control policies and, at the same time, soy-buying companies and 
                         Civil Society Organizations implemented the Soy Moratorium. This 
                         paper focused on the major role of these initiatives in decreasing 
                         soybean farming in areas deforested after 2006 and their 
                         importance in achieving this result. We considered rich database 
                         deforestation, and soybean planted area based on highly detailed 
                         remote sensing images, combined with explanatory variables of 
                         diferent sources, forming a panel data of 287 municipalities over 
                         8 years. Spatial panel data models are implemented to avoid any 
                         spatial correlation problems and to analyze relationships through 
                         regional units and time. The results confrm that lower 
                         deforestation rates in the biome laid the foundation for reducing 
                         soybean farming in the Amazon biome. However, since 2008, when the 
                         Soy Moratorium was launched, there was a structural decline in 
                         this relationship that was decisive for a decoupling of soybean 
                         farming from deforestation. Therefore, government programs to 
                         reduce deforestation made room for a new environment for 
                         agricultural expansion in line with Brazilian law and 
                         environmental commitments. The Soy Moratorium reinforced this new 
                         order, and this production chain became a case study on public and 
                         private governance, given its importance in reducing soybean 
                         farming in deforested areas after the cut-of date. These public 
                         and private efects stress the importance of coordinated actions to 
                         achieve efcient results, especially in a large social and 
                         environmentally complex region as the Brazilian Amazon, to halt 
                         biodiversity degradation and increase participation in value added
