The objective of this project was the improvement the web platform (GeoWeb Matopiba) and the development of an interface for mobile access to the data of the Strategic Territorial Intelligence System (SITE) Matopiba, with features to allow integrated analysis between data layers. The SITE Matopiba is the result of the special Project called “Embrapa's Strategic Action Plan in the Matopiba region”, which established the Company's strategic guidelines for operations in the region. The project incl

Forest systems are part of an important land-use strategy aimed at the maintenance of biodiversity, at the commercialization of wood products and other products, at quality of life and at environmental services such as carbon fixation. The greenhouse gas emission flows and the carbon stocked in the forests are indispensable information, and their estimation may support public policies on development and sustainability. Project GeoSaltus focuses on the use of geotechnologies for the developmen

The agribusiness production chains represent 26.4% of Brazil’s GDP, 36% of exports and 39% of the jobs generated in the internal market. The generation of geospatial information about the Brazilian agriculture supports decisions and public policies at different levels and scales. The System for Observation and Monitoring of Agriculture in Brazil (SOMABRASIL) aims to organize and integrate census data and information generated from satellite images into a single database for the whole country, fa

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

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

Diseases and pests which affect coffee plants are responsible for the reduction in coffee productivity and quality, and also raise production costs and the environmental risks resulting from the application of control measures. The indiscriminate use of agrochemicals also induce pest and disease resistance to control agents. A quick and precise diagnosis and a high or low risk alert for the accelerated progress and establishment of disease and pest epidemics, allied to wide and facilitated acces

The essence of precision agriculture resides in the analysis of spatial variability of production factors, especially that of the soil. This analysis' results, interpreted from the standpoint of economical gain and environmental benefits, should guide the use of resources in a localized form, with precision doses. For this purpose, many technologies are used, such as GPS, GIS, sensors, actuators, embedded systems, among others. In Brazil, the adoption of precision agriculture still is a small nu

The soil is of vital importance for the planet. The soil is the main support of agriculture; for climate change, it is one of the regulating elements of the water cycle.
It is in this context that FAO and Embrapa signed an agreement, aimed at the operation of a digital soil mapping for Latin America, as part of the “support for the establishment of the second stage of the Latin American soil system” and whose results and products will be: a) Preparation of a package and program for capacity- ...
