| 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.

| This project expands the partnership between Itaipi Binacional and Embrapa, generating new findings in technology research and transfer related to the production and use of biogas and biofertilizers. It will aslo support a previous contract between both companies to complement ongoing work at the Ajuricaba Basin Agroenergy Cooperative. The project will create alternative thecnologies to produce biogas and biofertilizers from the treatment and reuse of waste generated by milk production and by pi Status: Completed Start date: Wed May 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
| The organic production of vegetables is an activity of major social and economic importance in Brazil's Distrito Federal, and it has grown about 30% larger every year, causing a higher demand for knowledge on the establishment of new crops. Tomato is one of the main cultivated vegetables in terms of economic importance, which is central to the management of organic vegetable plots due to countless related plant health problems. From an agroecological standpoint, environmental diversification is Status: Completed Start date: Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| The adoption of agro-forest systems (SAFs) which are based in (agro) ecological practices has great potential for generating social, economic and environmental benefits, above all to family farmers. Thus, it was implanted, in the county of Tomé-Açu, Pará, SAFs composed by annual and perennial species, combined with Palm Oil Trees (Elaeis guineensis), in three family estates. In each one of them, the SAFs were installed after the area's preparation without the use of fires, based in the principle ... Status: Completed Start date: Sun Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
| The palm oil tree is, among the oilseeds, the most productive one, being able to reach an annual production of 10 tons/hectare in favorable conditions. The oil has many uses in food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, and is also considered one of the best oils to produce biodiesel. In 2010, worldwide production of palm oil, cultivated in 14,99 million hectares, was of 45,09 million tons, while the production of soy oil, cultivated in 102,38 million hectares, was of 39,76 million tons.

Low-carbon agriculture, a program introduced by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply in mid-2010, aims to combine the sustainable production of food, fibers and energy with the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the conservation of natural resources. To this end, the Brazilian government encourages the use of the following techniques: no-till farming, biological nitrogen fixation, integrated crop-livestock-forest systems, planting of commercial forests, recovery of de ...Status: Completed Start date: Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| This project applied geotechnologies to understand the cause and effect relationships between agricultural activities and greenhouse gas emissions processes, generating subsidies for management decisions that were agronomically and environmentally sustainable. For that, maps of pastures of the national territory were updated and geotechnologies were used to spatialize and monitor natural resources, human activities, and the consequences of these activities on the Earth's surface.

| According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a quarter of the national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions comes from agricultural activities, and 93% of the CH4 emitted originates from enteric fermentation. Despite that, the agriculture practiced within given management standards can result in a lower GHG emissions. The GeoPecus project's goal is the application of geotechnologies for the understanding of the cause and effect relationship between agricultural activities and the Status: Completed Start date: Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| This research project aims to obtain information about wood harvesting, energy supply and carbon credit market using five both native and exotic forest species in experimental homogeneous and mixed plantation systems in the counties in Pará. Furthermore, as additional information, activities that open up new guidelines regarding fertilization, dissemination and phytosanitary aspects of the species in question will be carried out throughout eight actions plans. The species of interest are: paricá ... Status: Completed Start date: Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
