The development of new technologies for the agricultural sector from cutting-edge areas such as nanotechnology is a demand Embrapa has recognized. The crosscutting and pervasive nature of developments in this area also makes it difficult to understand models that allow these new technologies to actually reach the production sector. It is evident that when a company in the food sector assimilates new technology, its behavior is structurally different from that of a company in the plastics industr

Development programs aimed at increasing production, improve milk quality and assist genetic selection of livestock are strategic initiatives to modernize the dairy chain in Brazil. Farmers, mostly family-scale, need special guidance to access technological information and training programs to increase production and improve productivity of the dairy herd. In addition, action plans and strategies to improve milk quality are essential in order to promote their inclusion in the formal dairy market
