| The goal of the project is to learn the capacity of the current production systems and of alternative technologies focused on carbon accumulation and sequestration in the soil and on reducing (direct or indirect) greenhouse gas - GHG - emissions. Such knowledge is essential for the investigation and foresight of future scenarios and for the planning of public policy to encourage the adoption of global warming mitigation practices. This project comprises the investigation and analysis of grain pr Status: Completed Start date: Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| This project that integrates the AgroNano Network aims to develop new materials of biological origin - Biodegradable compounds - from renewable sources, using nanotechnology and advanced characterization techniques. In other words, it aims to develop bionanocomposites containing nanoparticles out of agricultural products and by-products, adding value to different supply chains. As a result of this proposal, different products are expected to be obtained: cellulose nanostructures, nanostructured Status: Completed Start date: Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| 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 |
| In recent years, distance learning via the internet has become an important means of professional qualification, especially in Brazil, a country of continental dimensions. Whereas milk production is scattered throughout the national territory, distance learning offers the opportunity to bring information to professionals across the country. To this end, this project included the design, offering and accomplishment of the first distance learning courses of Embrapa Dairy Cattle, namely: "Sampling, ...

Safety is among consumers’ main concerns when it comes to food quality. One of the challenges faced in beef production in Brazil is combining production intensification with sustainability. Several aspects that used to be less valued earlier, such as quality, safety, food hygiene and product reliability, have become indispensable. In this context, the demand for traceability of the information regarding food is an important condition when the aim is conquering the customer's loyalty and trust ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |

One of analytical techniques that enables precise chemical analyzes with speed, low cost and little sample manipulation is near-infrared spectroscopy - NIRS. The interest in NIR spectroscopy has grown remarkably and this technique has been recognized as a powerful tool for quantitative and qualitative analysis of chemical and physical parameters. Besides these features, the methodologies based on NIR spectroscopy have the following inherent properties: 1) allows simultaneous analysis of multi ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| Computation used as a tool by scientific research has revolutionized the biological sciences, as it has done with many other fields of science, and considering the exponentially increasing amount and complexity of the scientific data being generated and needing to be efficiently handled, translated, processed and communicated, new computational resources are needed for the effective treatment of all this volume of data that makes it possible to transform it into knowledge and subsequently, as th Status: Completed Start date: Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |

The limited knowledge concerning the diversity of species of fruit fly species (Diptera: Tephritidae), on top of the reduced number of researchers working on this biological group in the Amazon region, has motivated the structuring of the Amazonian Network of Fruit Fly Research, a project financed by Embrapa (Call 05/2006 - "Agrofuturo"; SEG code 02.06.05.003), for the period of 36 months (August/2007 to July/2010). The Network has Embrapa Amapá as executing institution and gathers researcher ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
