The SeloVerde and CAR 2.0 platforms were developed by researchers at Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) in partnership with Territorial Intelligence Center (CIT) to support the assessment of socio-environmental compliance and traceability across agricultural and livestock supply chains.

By leveraging computational modeling, geoprocessing, remote sensing imagery, and large volumes of data from public databases, the researchers developed a methodology capable of calculating the socio-environmental compliance level of properties registered in Brazil’s Rural Environmental Registry (CAR), as well as their production systems. This approach supports the due diligence processes of buyers and financial institutions.

Through partnerships with state governments and funding organizations, years of scientific research have been translated into public policy in the form of universal, public, and free tools that analyze all registered rural properties. These platforms enable producers, buyers, intermediaries, exporters, and the general public to verify and demonstrate the compliance of agricultural production with environmental legislation.

As international markets increasingly demand deforestation-free products, SeloVerde and CAR 2.0 have become strategic instruments by officially and freely providing a way to certify the commitment of Brazilian states and producers to legal compliance and sustainability.
