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 ...

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

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

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

Failures to transmit information significantly impair the coordination and interaction between the different agents in the milk production chain. A large number of nationally based companies and a myriad of producers and policy makers face the challenge of structuring themselves for competition in a globalized business world. The main objective of the project was to provide information, structural analysis and monitoring of conjunctural developments in the milk production chain, in order to meet

Brazil is one of the world's largest producers of agricultural products. However, there is still a persistent international perception that the country's production comes at the expense of significant environmental damage, which does not reflect the diverse reality of Brazilian agriculture. Sustainability indicators proposed by international organizations such as FAO/UN and OECD repeatedly rank Brazil among the countries with the worst performance when they disregard the fact that the country

Assuming that about 80% of Brazilian pastures are degraded, the present project aims to solve this problem through the application of a biofertilizer based on bovine manure, coffee husks, decomposing bacteria and nitrogen fixing bacteria, mainly in those pastures cultivated and established with species of the genus Brachiaria. This is a project in public-private partnership with the company Justy BioSolutions Ltd, which has already been developing the biofertilizer in question, which is
