This project aims to propose viable technological alternatives for a competitive stockbreeding practice, making responsible use of the environment and regional resources and preserving the native flora and fauna of the Cerrado, Amazon and Pantanal. The beef cattle industry has an expressive social and economical role, being responsible for more than 6 million jobs and contributing with more than US$3 billion in the country's exportation activities. The Cerrado is currently the most important reg

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

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a quarter of the national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions comes from agricultural activities, and 93% of the CH4 emitted originates from enteric fermentation. Despite that, the agriculture practiced within given management standards can result in a lower GHG emissions. The GeoPecus project's goal is the application of geotechnologies for the understanding of the cause and effect relationship between agricultural activities and the

Artisanal cheeses are traditionally produced from raw milk. In the State of Minas Gerais they are regarded as intangible heritage of humanity by the Institute of National Historical and Artistic Heritage, with the following two regions of the State being awarded a geographic indication label: Canastra and Serro. These indications have been pursued by other regions producing artisanal cheeses. Currently, their sale is permitted by official bodies, but their production safely to the consumer is st
