| *Content only available in Portuguese A pesquisa busca desenvolver interfaces de sistemas computacionais aplicados à agricultura para oferta de dados e serviços virtuais por meio de APIs (Interface de Programação de Aplicativos, na tradução do inglês). A plataforma AgroAPI tem como objetivo promover a inovação na agricultura, oferecendo, de forma ágil e confiável, microsserviços com acesso a informações e modelos gerados pela Embrapa e seus parceiros para apoiar a tomada de decisão no campo, em tempo real. As APIs proporcionam a int ... Status: Completed Start date: 01/01/2019 |
| Water´s storage and management are a great challenge for the scarce rural population that inhabits the brazilian semiárido. The adoption of hydric social technologies to produce drinkable water for both human and animal and the food production contributed with a better life quality for the region´s families. The underground dam is one of the technologies that has helped many poor families, producing food and giving back their dignity. However, due to the enormous soil diversity in the semiárido, ...

| In intensive milk production systems, planning roughage supplementation is critical to the success of the activity. In Brazil the main forage conservation strategy is ensilage, in which maize is the main crop used, due to its high ensilability and silage nutritive value. However, the oscillation of input prices (fertilizers, pesticides, seeds, etc.) has increased the production costs of such crop, a fact that has been pointed out by farmers as a barrier for the economic viability of the producti Status: Completed Start date: 01/01/2019 |
| The project's team aims to prospect demands based on the diagnosis and characterization of the main agrarian systems in East São Paulo - especially those linked to Family Farming - towards the joint and participatory generation of knowledge, processes, innovations, methodologies and technologies, aiming at the redesign and the sustainable management of agroecosystems based on Agroecology rules. The East São Paulo region is formed by 90 cities within the Cerrados and Atlantic Rainforest biomes, w ... Status: Completed Start date: 01/01/2019 |
| Proteins found in cow's milk are one of the main sources of childhood allergies and can affect up to 7% of children. A more common allergen is beta-lactoglobulin (BGL), which makes up more than 50% of whey protein and is absent in human milk. Hypoallergenic cow's milk can be obtained by treating the milk, but this can result in residual antigenicity and alter the taste of the milk. Additionally, prices are 10-15x higher than conventional milk. The bovine BGL gene is located on chromosome 11 and Status: Completed Start date: 01/01/2019 |
| One of the bottlenecks for the expansion of organic agriculture is the lack of nitrogen. A system that annually exports large amount of such nutrient with product harvests needs a continuous supply of the element to keep the system productive. However, organic production in Brazil cannot use nitrogen from synthetic sources, according to Law 10831, from 2003. Thus, green manure with the use of atmospheric nitrogen fixing legumes is a strategy for organic farmers. Status: Completed Start date: 01/01/2019 |
| Heat together with high humidity is one of the causes of reductions in milk production and cattle fertility, especially in summer or in tropical and semitropical regions. The forecast of global warming may worsen such problem. In the warmer regions of Brazil, there is a preference for crossbreed cattle of the Holstein (H) and Zebu (Z) breeds, mainly Gir (G), which form the synthetic Girolando breed whose composition is ⅝ GxH. Animals of these breeds are more tolerant to heat than breeds of Europ Status: Completed Start date: 01/01/2019 |
| *Content only available in Portuguese As limitações impostas pelas mudanças climáticas já afetam a produtividade agrícola na maioria das regiões produtoras de alimentos e fibras do mundo e as projeções indicam que o problema deve se intensificar de forma continuada. É imprescindível que ações estruturadas com foco na busca de alternativas viáveis e eficazes sejam intensificadas para fazermos frente aos riscos que ameaçam a produção de alimentos. A Unidade Mista de Pesquisa em Genômica Aplicada a Mudanças Climáticas (Umip GenClima) é ... Status: Completed Start date: 01/01/2019 |
| *Content only available in Portuguese A biomassa é uma importante fonte de energia renovável, sendo considerada neutra em termos de emissões de carbono para a atmosfera se for usada de modo sustentável. O uso da biomassa no mercado da agroenergia, tanto no Brasil como no mundo, vem sofrendo modificações e tem focado no conceito de biorrefinaria como grande oportunidade de desenvolvimento tecnológico e econômico do setor. No contexto das biorrefinarias, a pirólise é considerada um dos processos com o potencial de converter biomassa d ... Status: Completed Start date: 01/01/2019 |
| Forage crops of the genus Brachiaria are the most important for feeding the herd in dairy farming systems in the tropics. B. ruziziensis is recognized as having the best nutritional value but is less productive than other Brachiaria species besides being susceptible to feeding damage caused by spittlebug, thus limiting its use by dairy farmers. The breeding program of B. ruziziensis, carried out by Embrapa in partnership with other institutions, has selected an im Status: Completed Start date: 01/01/2019 |
