Summary: Abstract: In rural areas, low levels of education, coupled with lack of skills and competencies, are one of the main problems that limit and restrict the appropriation of knowledge and the adoption of technologies. Disseminating knowledge and technological solutions and stimulating the investigative learning of science are tools capable of changing this scenario, contributing to the expansion of the well-being of rural communities, as well as to the generation and incorporation of technologies capable of promoting sustainable rural development. This chaper presents different actions of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), both formal and non-formal, which contribute to the development of skills and competences in the Brazilian rural environment.
