I've been told by Brazilians IRL that the rainforests aren't actually being cut down for farmland to the extent that we are being told and that most of the new farmland is actually converted grassland that environmentalists are just calling rainforests. Can you confirm or dispel these rumors?
The Brazilians who told me this were ranchers and farmers, so they have a bias. But environmentalists, particularly north American environmentalists lie about everything all the time.
