| What is the cost of producing one liter of milk in Brazil? Any answer between R$ 0.10 and R$ 1.70 is true. But, also, it is not essentially true. This occurs for two major reasons, both resulting from a lack of standardization. The first reason is that there is an immense amount of production systems in Brazil, from the South to the North. Therefore, in Brazil, rural properties are not standardized, as in Europe, the USA, Canada and Oceania. Each farm is a farm. The second reason is that there i Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| 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 Status: Completed Start date: Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
| Brazil is now a world reference in the area of animal breeding biotechnology, accounting for 25 to 30% of the total number of embryos transferred worldwide. Reproductive biotechnology is a key element in genetic breeding programs, but it is necessary to invest in the creation of a solid and well-built database that supports decision-making for national livestock.

| Environmental systems (SA) have gained great visibility as mechanisms of environmental conservation and improvement of living conditions for rural communities. However, when compared to services of provision of food, fiber and energy, SAs such as carbon sequestration and water conservation are generally put in an inferior level. Given its importance even to the sustainability of agriculture, it is necessary that these SAs move from the sphere of discourse into the sphere of practical realities.

The banana tree is cultivated from north to south of the country and the main cultivars used are susceptible to pests, with low productivity and some are very tall. The project aims to continue the banana breeding program underway since 1983 and aims to create and agronomically evaluate banana genotypes; assess resistance / tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses; develop basic studies aimed at generating knowledge for pest control in support of the breeding program; use tissue culture techn ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
