| Development programs aimed at increasing production, improve milk quality and assist genetic selection of livestock are strategic initiatives to modernize the dairy chain in Brazil. Farmers, mostly family-scale, need special guidance to access technological information and training programs to increase production and improve productivity of the dairy herd. In addition, action plans and strategies to improve milk quality are essential in order to promote their inclusion in the formal dairy market Status: Completed Start date: Fri Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
| The objective of this project was the improvement the web platform (GeoWeb Matopiba) and the development of an interface for mobile access to the data of the Strategic Territorial Intelligence System (SITE) Matopiba, with features to allow integrated analysis between data layers. The SITE Matopiba is the result of the special Project called “Embrapa's Strategic Action Plan in the Matopiba region”, which established the Company's strategic guidelines for operations in the region. The project incl Status: Completed Start date: Tue Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2017 |
| Local knowledge: social and economic insertion of family milk producers in a sustainable environment Family farming in Brazil has great potential, representing a sector of relevant social and economic importance for Brazilian society, although it also shows weaknesses. Some strategies such as farming on an ecological basis as well as artisanal products have been considered to support and intermediate the insertion of smallholders in the market. To this end, this project sought to implement the use of ecologically based production systems and encourage non-agricultural activities as a means to p Status: Completed Start date: Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| This project aims to give Oriental Amazon Embrapa structure and channels for technology transfers that intend to develop agricultural and agro-industrial ventures by means of incubation of technology-based businesses, and focusing on meliponiculture, fruit derivatives, medicinal plant products and bio-jewelry. Technology transfers encourage economical and social development of entire regions, and that is one of the challenges faced by the Institutions of Research, Development and Innovation such Status: Completed Start date: Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| Epidemics of Diseases whose Pathogens are Transmitted by Insects (EDTIs) are frequent and impactful in the areas of human, animal and plant health. Due to its complexity, understanding the dynamics of EDTIs requires the accumulation of epidemiological data from monitoring networks and the use of models that establish the chain of relations between their components and calculate, under environmental oscillations, the rate and progress of the biological processes. This project proposes to develop Status: Completed Start date: Sat Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2017 |
| Data from 2006 the Agricultural Census indicate that the area of cultivated pasture in Brazil corresponds to about 106 million hectares. Since Brazilian cattle farming predominantly takes place in pastures, their degradation can represent economic and environmental damages for the sector. The process of pasture degradation is a complex phenomenon, which involves causes and consequences that lead to the gradual reduction of the pasture's support capacity. In order to adjust to the new environment Status: Completed Start date: Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| Diseases and pests which affect coffee plants are responsible for the reduction in coffee productivity and quality, and also raise production costs and the environmental risks resulting from the application of control measures. The indiscriminate use of agrochemicals also induce pest and disease resistance to control agents. A quick and precise diagnosis and a high or low risk alert for the accelerated progress and establishment of disease and pest epidemics, allied to wide and facilitated acces Status: Completed Start date: Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |

Precision farming and agricultural practices that take into consideration the protection of the environment have brought forward a number of research challenges. The scale of sampling and the precision required by such new agricultural practices are often higher than those required by traditional agriculture, increasing production costs. Methods and devices for on-the-go measurements are being developed to equip agricultural vehicles to support these practices. The proposed project was guided ...Status: Completed Start date: Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |

Maps, zoning and monitoring resources are examples of geospatial information which are daily used for planning, managing resources, decision making, and for public policies. Geoinformation are of strategic importance for several sectors, including for strengthening Brazilian agriculture and for transferring the knowledge produced by Embrapa to society. To quickly produce, organize and make geospatial services and data available, Embrapa needed an up-to-date, modern data infrastructure, to ena ...Status: Completed Start date: Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| The goal of this project is to develop an integrated database system for the Department of Vegetal Sanity (DSV), the Secretary of Agriculture and Stockbreeding Defense of the Agriculture, Stockbreeding and Provision (Mapa), hoping to facilitate processes of risk analysis of plagues that attack vegetable products. The vegetable product imports which can be potential spreaders of plagues is normatized by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), which is linked to the Committee of Sani Status: Completed Start date: Thu Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
