| 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 |
| The use of vegetable fibers as reinforcement in polymeric matrices has been an increasing demand of the industry, mainly because the whole environmental issue. The search for renewable sources, as well as the search for biodegradable products has been increasing in recent years. Pineapple fiber, more precisely from Curauá (Ananas comousus var. Erectifolius), is already being used to replace fiberglass in reinforcing polymer composites, with applications in the automotive industry. However, other ...

| This International Cooperation Project – under the aegis of the Africa-Brazil Marketplace – developed in Ghana in partnership with Embrapa Mid-North, proposed the formulation of two products from the cashew pseudofruit: cashew powder (dehydrated through spray drying) to be reconstituted as fruit juice and breakfast cereal with enriched dehydrated cashew. The results indicated that the enriched cashew cereal had good acceptance among Ghanaian consumers. There were tests to obtain spray dried powd Status: Completed Start date: Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| The increase in productivity in dairy farming will be essential to ensure increases in the production and supply of milk and milk products to meet the world's growing population. Appropriate technologies should be developed and adopted to enable increased productivity in a sustainable way, ensuring greater milk production with reduced number of animals and farming area. The efficient use of dietary nutrients is one of the premises of sustainable production systems, since their inefficient use no Status: Completed Start date: Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |

This project aims to develop an open access digital platform in which data from Federal Government social programs focusing on farmers are available for crossings and spatial visualization. The tool was requested by the National Secretariat for Food and Nutritional Security of the former Ministry of Social Development (Sesan / MDS), and consists of a geoweb with information that allows the elaboration of coverage maps for five social programs: Food Acquisition (PAA), Promotion of Rural Produc ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2016 |
| The identification of animals with more efficiency in feed utilization is one of the alternatives to overcome the challenges as increased production costs, increased consumer awareness regarding food safety, animal welfare and environmental impacts of the agriculture and livestock. As feeding expenses account for the main cost of livestock activity, differences among animals in converting diet to beef and milk are of great relevance. Animals that use feed more efficiently need to consume less to Status: Completed Start date: Sat Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2017 |
| Agroforestry systems (AFS) combine planting trees with agricultural crops or animal husbandry and are considered suitable production systems for the Amazon region because they reconcile agricultural production with the conservation of natural resources, which is a great challenge today.
