| The Twin transition phenomenon is guided by the digital transformation agenda associated with production with less environmental impact. Adopting agricultural practices that promote the more efficient use of resources associated with digital technologies is central to the sustainable digitalization transition. This project aims to estimate the impact of adopting integrated crop-livestock production systems (ILP) and digital technologies on the technical efficiency of farms. The results can contr Status: In progress Start date: Wed Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2023 |
| Pastures are the pillar of support for national beef and dairy farming, which is mostly carried out on pasture, resulting in around 160 million hectares occupied by pastures in Brazil. Among the various aspects of research that contribute to the establishment of quality pastures, the genetic improvement of forage plant species stands out; mainly tropical grasses. Embrapa's Active Germplasm Banks (BAGs) have allowed large increases in pasture productivity. However, there are certain niches that a Status: In progress Start date: Fri Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2024 |
| Crop areas in Mato Grosso have undergone a profound transformation in biology, physics and soil chemistry due to the conduction of production systems that can lead to a reduction in the organic matter content, such as, for example, conventional planting and succession soy-corn production, contributing to the degradation of soil attributes. These areas, used as crops in the Cerrado and Amazon biomes and in the transition between them, have presented problems, causing productivity losses and an in Status: Completed Start date: Tue Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2020 |
| The presence of trees causes the interception of part of solar radiation in agricultural systems, mainly affecting shaded plants and variables such as energy balance, winds and water use by plants (Brenner, 1996). In addition to the restriction of solar radiation, there is also competition for water and nutrients near the row of trees (Magalhães et al., 2018). Thus, controlling competition for light among forest species and reducing tree drain strength for agricultural and forage crops can repre ...

| Crop-livestock-forest integrated systems (CLFi) are characterized as a sustainable production strategy that integrates agricultural, livestock, and forestry activities carried out in the same area, in intercropped cultivation, succession, or rotation, and which seeks synergistic effects between the components of the agroecosystem. This project proposes to increase knowledge among researchers, technicians, and producers involved with CLFi, stimulating and expanding the training of public technica Status: In progress Start date: Thu Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2022 |
| “The project aims to investigate the possibilities of using systems of integrated crop-livestock-forest (ICLF) systems as a local development strategy in the state of Mato Grosso. It proposes a discussion of the issue in a broad perspective, taking into account their economic, social, and environmental impacts, and the alignment of this strategy to Federal Government programs, contributing to the promotion of the region’s development.”Keywords: ICLF system, Public Policy, Sustainable Local Devel Status: Completed Start date: Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| The project “Technology transfer to consolidate low carbon emission agriculture in Tocantins” was carried out to consolidate an agriculture based in low carbon emission technologies, sharing the knowledge in conservation agriculture through capacity building of scientists, agronomists, extension workers and consultants, which were then capable to transfer low carbon technologies such as no-till system, degraded pastures recovery and integrated crop-livestock-forestry systems to farmers of all st Status: Completed Start date: Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| The project aims at assessing methods and innovative techniques in the area of Remote Sensing and spatial data integration for detection in cultivation practices and production systems, especially integrated crop-livestock-forestry systems (ICLFs) and variations, which constitute one of the key points of the low carbon agriculture policy.

| Concern about the environmental impacts of agricultural activities has taken on a large dimension, especially in the last decade. These impacts are expressed, for example, in reduction of biological diversity, erosion and contamination of soils, silting and contamination of water springs, increase of agrochemical residues in food, among others. However, the incorporation of the concept of sustainability has led agricultural research in the growing search for alternative and sustainable models of Status: Completed Start date: Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| Dairy farming in the country is practiced in all biomes, consisting of an important production chain in Brazil. In the state of Mato Grosso, the activity is among the most important for small and medium-sized producers, practiced in all municipalities in the state. Milk production in Mato Grosso presents challenges, especially in the north of the state, characterized mainly by high temperatures and humidity. In this sense, silvopastoral systems (SSPs) for milk production emerge as a strategy to Status: Completed Start date: Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2020 |
