It's important to mention that a lot of sugarcane in Brazil is used in the production of ethanol which is its main source of car fuel. Even the gasoline used in Brazil is not pure, up to 27% of its volume is ethanol. That is why all cars produced there are flex-fuel.

The link is in the first comment. While this is me just talking and to answer your question more precisely would require a much bigger effort outside the scope of the summary statistics calculator, but it is likely there are network effects to divorce. If you are in a community where divorce is frequent and discussed, it is a more visible option. A community may also make it more culturally acceptable in a high divorce rate area. And folks may be drawn to certain cultural norms to begin with when choosing an area to live. Just riffing some thoughts.

this is just not true, soy production is one of the leading causes of deforestation. the problem is that the land isnt very good for it, so they log, grow cash crops like soy, and then land gets left barren because they cant grow anything on it after
