Natural rubber is a strategic product for Brazil and the world. The State of São Paulo has a large share in national production, with perspectives of expansion and the implementation of new rubber plantations at both the business and family farming levels. Although the growth of the crop is expressive, the productive sector lacks updated information. The GeoHevea project uses geotechnology tools to expand knowledge about the dynamics of land use and occupation and to evaluate the sustainabili ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
| The project aims at assessing methods and innovative techniques in the area of Remote Sensing and spatial data integration for detection in cultivation practices and production systems, especially integrated crop-livestock-forestry systems (ICLFs) and variations, which constitute one of the key points of the low carbon agriculture policy.

| “The project aims to investigate the possibilities of using systems of integrated crop-livestock-forest (ICLF) systems as a local development strategy in the state of Mato Grosso. It proposes a discussion of the issue in a broad perspective, taking into account their economic, social, and environmental impacts, and the alignment of this strategy to Federal Government programs, contributing to the promotion of the region’s development.”Keywords: ICLF system, Public Policy, Sustainable Local Devel Status: Completed Start date: Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |

The Precision Agriculture (PA) network, coordinated by Embrapa, has obtained significant results in terms of knowledge on the variability of the production and environmental parameters of plants, pests and diseases of diverse crops such as soybean, corn, cotton, wheat, eucalyptus, sugarcane Sugar, orange, grape, apple and peach. The network made possible the integration of research efforts in the theme, with the participation of more than 150 researchers, 21 Embrapa Units, more than 5 ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2016 |
| PortGEO brought together several projects and actions developed at Embrapa with a thematic focus on the study and assessment of environmental, socioeconomic and institutional factors associated with the dynamics of land use and cover (causes and effects), as well as their interactions, impacts, products and outcomes. The project was developed to manage and consolidate information from Embrapa's R&D and TT projects within a consolidated structure, in order to organize, make this information avail ...

| Food education represents a factor of great importance to change malnutrition conditions, especially with regard to children, for a better quality of life based on the supply of accessible, low-cost foods with higher nutritional value. In view of such need, family farming represents a great potential to revert the malnutrition scenario, and the Food Biofortification project, led by Embrapa Food Agroindustry, is an alternative to offer technologies with nutritional added value aimed at family far Status: Completed Start date: Fri Jun 22 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| In fruit cultivation, Brazil occupies the third place among the world's major producers, especially with regard to fresh oranges, which accounted for the single largest growth in 2006 with more than 50,000 tons, an increase of 64% in volume and 85% in value compared to 2005 (AgroBrasil, 2006). The numbers reflect the dominance the country has maintained in the sector over the years, not only in the production of oranges and their byproducts, but also in the export of such products, especially fr Status: Completed Start date: Wed Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
| This research project aims to study organic sugarcane cultivation areas of the Santo Antônio Sugar Mill in Sertãozinho, São Paulo, with emphasis on mapping and characterizing the current status of the vegetation within Permanent Preservation Areas (APPs, from the acronym in Portuguese), for the implementation of an agro-ecological project. The research project should promote an increment to the faunal biodiversity and production systems in such properties, helping the dispersion of seeds along t ...

| Family farming is an economically important segment nationwide, but has many weaknesses of social and technological order. Parallel to this, concerns about the negative environmental impacts of agriculture, livestock and forestry are getting increasingly important on the agenda of society, and the use of inadequate agricultural practices is one of the main causes of degradation of cultivated areas. Given the growing worldwide demand for food, fiber, wood and biofuels, and the consequent need for Status: Completed Start date: Thu May 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
