Guilherme Piai

Guilherme Piai is the Secretary of Agriculture for the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Recently, he has been in the news for advocating changes in the European Union's anti-deforestation legislation, specifically requesting that environmental risk assessments be tailored regionally to avoid adverse impacts on São Paulo's agricultural exports, particularly coffee. Piai emphasizes the need for more precise geolocation tools to prevent misclassifications of land use that could harm responsible producers in the state.
