This project was carried out in the region of Pernambuco known as Sertão and in the north of Bahia in order to train rural leaders, extension workers and agricultural technicians in silviculture of multiple-use forest species and agroforestry systems, as well as notions of ecology and the environment. Through courses and training, agents were trained to develop and implement a sustainable management plan for the caatinga area in small and medium rural properties in the Brazilian semiarid regi

Given the serious agricultural losses suffered by the highland region of the state of Rio de Janeiro due to heavy rainfall in January 2011, this projects aimed at transferring agroecological technologies that have been already developed and adapted to the region through cooperative methodologies that foster interaction between researchers and farmers. It was expected to contribute to counter the environmental and economic risk scenario afflicting family farming in the region; diversify productio

Implementing communication and technology transfer actions that maximize the understanding, use and reuse of information and technologies generated by Embrapa and adapted to the state of Mato Grosso. The proposal is to promote in loco practical activities such as transfer and environmental education activities, exploring the rural space defined in technological (annual and perennial crops) and ecological (Permanent Preservation Areas- PPA) pathways, and the virtual space with the use of informat

Velloziaceae are an angiosperm family that contains the most desiccation-tolerant species (approximately 200 out of 270 species). These species are distributed among five genera: Acanthochlamys, Xerophyta, Barbacenia, Barbaceniopsis and Vellozia. More than 80% of theVelloziaceae species occur in South America, where the greatest morphological diversity is also found. The genus Vellozia comprises both desiccation-tolerant and non-desiccation-tolerant species, offering an excellent model for study

The Experiment Stations of Embrapa Dairy Cattle have a strategic infrastructure for conducting research projects and experiments with direct and practical application of results. Keep livestock (young and adult animals) and infrastructure in the production systems in permanent operation require significant investment in terms of labour and financial funds. In the experiment stations, many factors or variables related to milk production are controlled in order to increase the accuracy of results

This project proposed to develop a field densitometer based on the use of Compton scattering and visualization algorithms as innovative methods to non-invasively and non-destructively measure density and compaction in agricultural soils in the environment under analysis. For the methodological evaluation, the results were compared with classical soil analysis techniques .
