| This project arose from the need to generate and consolidate geospatial databases, implementing an infrastructure in order to organize and make this data available to improve Embrapa's RD&I capacity. As well as to allow sharing of the data collection to other government agencies and to society, and also the establishment of a multiuser reference center for obtaining spectroradiometric measurements of targets of interest to tropical agriculture. The implementation of Embrapa's Spatial Data Infras ... Status: Completed Start date: 01/06/2014 |

Geospatial information are necessary for planning and decision making, resources management, and for the creation of public policies. Disseminating geoinformation is strategically relevant to strengthen Brazilian agriculture and to transfer the knowledge produced by Embrapa to the society. The deployment of a structure for the digital storage of spatial data and metadata enables the long-term preservation of geoinformation and its curation, manipulation and integration, thus avoiding duplicat ...Status: Completed Start date: 01/09/2012 |

Maps, zoning and monitoring resources are examples of geospatial information which are daily used for planning, managing resources, decision making, and for public policies. Geoinformation are of strategic importance for several sectors, including for strengthening Brazilian agriculture and for transferring the knowledge produced by Embrapa to society. To quickly produce, organize and make geospatial services and data available, Embrapa needed an up-to-date, modern data infrastructure, to ena ...Status: Completed Start date: 01/02/2015 |
| Among the pathogens infecting grapevines, viruses particularly stand out due to the damages they cause and the degeneration (loss of vigor) of the plants they affect throughout the years, resulting in reduced production and quality of grapes. This could even economically impair this activity. In specific combinations of rootstock/cultivar and viral species, grapevine viral diseases can be latent and could thus go undetected and be successively propagated, resulting in high levels of infection in Status: Completed Start date: 01/04/2012 |

The farmer and the processing juice industry in Brazil and abroad, seeking ways to reduce their losses, through the use of new varieties, diversification of processing to obtain new products and the establishment of partnerships with centers research for the development of techniques using the residue of agribusiness. Aim thereby reducing the environmental impact generated by the production process and maximize your profits. In this context, the Embrapa Food Technology, in partnership ...Status: Completed Start date: 01/02/2015 |
| The aim of this project is to create a multicriteria sustainability index for family-based agricultural units in Amazônia. This effort is performed with participation of farmers, their children and technicians, and combines theoretical knowledge and methods with local experiences. To fulfil this purpose, the project's team will be promoting workshops in each of the states that make up the Brazilian Amazon region, with the aim of defining economic, social, environmental and governance indicators. ...

| Proteins found in cow's milk are one of the main sources of childhood allergies and can affect up to 7% of children. A more common allergen is beta-lactoglobulin (BGL), which makes up more than 50% of whey protein and is absent in human milk. Hypoallergenic cow's milk can be obtained by treating the milk, but this can result in residual antigenicity and alter the taste of the milk. Additionally, prices are 10-15x higher than conventional milk. The bovine BGL gene is located on chromosome 11 and Status: Completed Start date: 01/01/2019 |
| Yerba mate is an extremely important business in southern Brazil in environmental as well associoeconomic terms, providing the main economic alternative for many municipalities andserving as a source of income and jobs in rural settings. However, systems to produce yerbamate in Brazil involve little technology compared to other crops. Performance of commercialyerba mate plantations is visibly lower than experimental ones: national productivity inplantations was 8 t/ha in 2016, while in research Status: Completed Start date: 01/03/2019 |
| Recent evidence from observational studies and controlled clinical trials indicates that milk fat, although predominantly saturated, has neutral or positive effects on cardiometabolic health. Such benefits have been attributed to the complex and unique chemical nature of milk fat, which contains several compounds potentially beneficial to health, such as butyric acid (C4:0), vaccenic acid ( trans-11 C18:1), rumenic acid ( cis--9, trans-11 CLA), oleic acid ( cis-9 C18 ...

| Selection for desirable phenotypes has been practiced in cattle since their domestication approximately 10,000 years ago. This process, alongside breed development and genetic improvement programs, has led to the vast diversity of cattle breeds known today. Traditional breeding methods, grounded in quantitative theory, have facilitated continuous genetic gains in most economically important traits. However, until recently, selection has been conducted without knowledge of the specific genes infl Status: Completed Start date: 01/01/2019 |
