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 |
| Despite agri-business's great importance, our principal products are exported in the form of commodities, without any quality specification. In order to commercialize them with quality attributes, it is necessary to make use of processes of quality determination and certification, at low costs, so that the price of the analyzed product won't rise significantly. Thus, it is necessary to develop ultrafast sensors that allow the analysis of thousands of samples an hour and non destructively, which Status: Completed Start date: Wed Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |

The Amapá state has extensive forests and savannas, which are important carbon stocks being negatively affected due to agricultural, forestry and industrial activities. Thus the project aims to develop a methodology applicable to the entire State of Amapá, aiming to reach all types of existing vegetation, being the basis for estimates of forest biomass and the quantification of carbon stocks, in addition to enabling the monitoring of changes caused on biomass due to the economic activities de ...Status: Completed Start date: Thu Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2016 |

| What is the cost of producing one liter of milk in Brazil? Any answer between R$ 0.10 and R$ 1.70 is true. But, also, it is not essentially true. This occurs for two major reasons, both resulting from a lack of standardization. The first reason is that there is an immense amount of production systems in Brazil, from the South to the North. Therefore, in Brazil, rural properties are not standardized, as in Europe, the USA, Canada and Oceania. Each farm is a farm. The second reason is that there i Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| Spectroscopy, which is always associated with chemometrics, is a versatile technique that is applied in several areas of science. It is fast, non-destructive, low-cost and, in addition, “clean”, requiring few or no reagents. The latter factor aligns the tool with green chemistry.

| Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a management tool to assess the environmental performance of products throughout their life cycle. It is a methodology with strong, internationally recognized scientific foundations, established by the series of ISO 14040 standards. LCA is used in some countries to elaborate public policy. It is also widely used by the private sector for the development of products and processes, the development of business-oriented strategies, and to communicate environmental aspe Status: Completed Start date: Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| The internal audits appoint the procedures that are not in accordance with the norms and legislation of the Firm. The institution being audited presents the justifications and clarifications, establishing a deadline for the adjustment of those irregularities. Upon receiving the documentation and justifications of the audited part, the Internal Audit Advisory (AUD) analyses and responds informing whether it will abide or maintain the pending irregularities, by means of correspondence and thus suc Status: Completed Start date: Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
| 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 Status: Completed Start date: Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
| In the past years, Brazil has stood out for its leadership and high competitiveness in food production, a position reached especially due to the substantial efforts put into research, development and innovation, associated with free entrepreneurship, natural favorable conditions, abundant and efficient food production, and governmental efforts, notably those of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (Mapa). However, if on one hand the quantitative issues regarding Brazil's food p Status: Completed Start date: Mon Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
