Lacking economic opportunity or state support to access education and healthcare, rural communities and forest dwellers then migrate to urban areas, sometimes after a period of trying cattle ranching.
“Lacking economic opportunity or state support to access education and healthcare, rural communities and forest dwellers then migrate to urban areas, sometimes after a period of trying cattle ranching (Parry et al., 2010).”
From Beyond the “supply chain” framing: Cattle ranching as a vanishing mediator of deforestation and dispossession in the Brazilian and Colombian Amazon (2026) · cites this paper as Parry et al., 2010

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
