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 ‘cipó-titica’ vine (Heterops flexuosa) is a non-timber forest product of economical importance in Amapá. Its long and resistant aerial roots have historically been used for crafting furniture, utensils and handcrafts. The project will be situated in Nova Canaã settling, at Porto Grande municipality (Amapá) and aims to evaluate cipó-titica plants density in the forest in order to identify phorophytes (tree species that host the vine) and thus determine the rate of growth and emission of ne ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| The agribusiness production chains represent 26.4% of Brazil’s GDP, 36% of exports and 39% of the jobs generated in the internal market. The generation of geospatial information about the Brazilian agriculture supports decisions and public policies at different levels and scales. The System for Observation and Monitoring of Agriculture in Brazil (SOMABRASIL) aims to organize and integrate census data and information generated from satellite images into a single database for the whole country, fa Status: Completed Start date: Tue Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
| There has been increased interest in the use of techniques to collect and store rainwater in the last few decades, with funding from national and international bodies; however, the general performance of these activities at farmer level is lower than expected, and that relates to the lack of knowledge of the existence and importance of techniques to cope with semiarid conditions.

| 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 |
| Campinas' Metropolitan region has a wide selection of information and data that might be used to promote a better understanding of the agricultural and stockbreeding sector to society. This information is rarely accessed by elementary students due to the lack of personalized didactic material, elaborated by teachers, with the depth required in class. The GeoAtlas project aims to supply this gap with the elaboration of the School Atlas of Campinas' Metropolitan Region. It focuses on the main regi Status: Completed Start date: Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
