This project aims to propose viable technological alternatives for a competitive stockbreeding practice, making responsible use of the environment and regional resources and preserving the native flora and fauna of the Cerrado, Amazon and Pantanal. The beef cattle industry has an expressive social and economical role, being responsible for more than 6 million jobs and contributing with more than US$3 billion in the country's exportation activities. The Cerrado is currently the most important reg

The Platonia insignis tree possesses the singular trait of sprouting through the roots. At Oriental Amazon, in older areas where Platonia insignis bushes occur naturally one may notice the sprouting of this arboreal species, in ways that resemble weeds. Many farmers replant these spontaneous sprouts, with sufficient spacing in between them, then adequately trim their crowns and care for the new sprouts, allowing the formation of new bushes and thus helping to restore degraded are

This proposal seeks to facilitate technological solutions for competitive cattle farming, making rational use of the environment and regional resources while preserving the flora and fauna of the Cerrado, the Amazon and the Pantanal. The cattle industry plays a significant social and economic role, generating over 6 million jobs and contributing over $ 3 billion to the country's exports. The Cerrado is currently the leading region for livestock and at this moment there is an opportunity to estab
