Surveys carried out by Emater-MG (Corporation of Technical Assistance and Rural Extension of the State of Minas Gerais0) estimate that in the State of Minas Gerais there are approximately 30 thousand artisanal cheese producers. Recent studies in Alagoa-MG and neighboring municipalities characterized the region's milk and cheese production systems in terms of environment (climate, relief, water, soil, etc.) and aspects related to social (producers), microbiological (water, milk, yeast, brine and

The project is a continuation of the genetic improvement program whose goal is to develop and launch fusariosis-resistant pineapple cultivars with fruit quality to ensure the supply of the domestic market with environmentally safe production and less application of agrochemicals.Three innovation solutions are proposed: genotypes with the potential to expand the genetic base of cultivation in Brazil, cultivars adapted to the main production hubs; and a large-scale production system to provide hea

In last the two decades, the melon agribusiness in Brazil has expanded nine times, reaching a production that is estimated at 500,000 tons per year and is concentrated in the Northeast. Since 2007, melons have become the main national fruit in volume of exports, and in 2008 Brazil was the second top world exporter. Nearly all melon cultivars planted in the Northeast are imported, and hence there is demand for more adapted ones, as the cultivars available were generally developed in soil and clim

The Lower Tocantins region, PA, presents agricultural traits that integrate both traditional and modern practices; the small farming's main activities are concentrated on yuca cultivation and flour processing. In the county of Moju, the productivity obtained by the great majority of small farmers oscillates between 9 and 16 tons/hectare, once great part of them do not select propagation material, do not control weed growth and don't cultivate using adequate spacing. Moreover, other common farmin

This research project aims to obtain information about wood harvesting, energy supply and carbon credit market using five both native and exotic forest species in experimental homogeneous and mixed plantation systems in the counties in Pará. Furthermore, as additional information, activities that open up new guidelines regarding fertilization, dissemination and phytosanitary aspects of the species in question will be carried out throughout eight actions plans. The species of interest are: paricá ...

The identification of economically relevant genes might translate into considerable competitive advantage in markets more and more competitive and globalized. Genes which are associated with plague resistance, productivity increase and organoleptic attributes (which can be experienced by the senses such as color, taste and texture) appreciated by consumers are extremely important to the Brazilian stockbreeding market. There is a considerable number of bioinformatic tools that are available to th

Due to the crescent quest for renewable energy sources, the biodiesel production from renewable sources has created exceeding amounts of glycerol as a biodiesel sub-product. Currently, the most important consumer markets for glycerol are the industries of food, drinks, cosmetics, paper, ink, lubricants and resin. Thusly, studies that aim to find new uses, and open new consumer markets for glycerol have been strongly stimulated, and have been increasingly challenging scientists of practically all
