The thing is that the Amazon is not a good place for traditional agriculture. You can chop down the trees and grow crops for a couple of years and then you have to move on. We need a completely different approach to develop the Amazon.

That's true, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. The whole world is going for the short term profit instead of sustainability.

After millions of years improving, and a living layer more than 100 m thick, I think that the area is fully developped to its maximum potential.
