Project focused on the development of collaborative research on the ecology, management and technological processing of andiroba oil, strengthening the integration of related countries and the conservation of the Amazon rainforest in the region of the Guiana shield. Among the specificities of this study are the comparison of traditional andiroba oil extraction processes in the Brazilian Amazon and in Suriname; monitoring the production and physical-chemical quality of oil associated with best ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| Agroforestry systems (AFS) combine planting trees with agricultural crops or animal husbandry and are considered suitable production systems for the Amazon region because they reconcile agricultural production with the conservation of natural resources, which is a great challenge today.

| "To assess the potential of obtaining biochar from timber processing residue in the states of Mato Grosso, Rondônia, and Acre, and its use as a substrate for seedlings of forest species and for the field production of forest species.”Keywords: Carbonized biomass, Eucalyptus, Biochar, Co-products, Pyrolysis, Pyrogenic Vegetable charcoal Status: Completed Start date: Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
| The Cerrado is the second largest Brazilian biome and is considered one of the main biodiversity reserves on the planet that need to be conserved. For a rational and sustainable exploitation of this natural wealth, it is necessary to get to know it beforehand. A possible approach, from the point of view of the elaboration of products from Cerrado plants, is the use of aromatic species to obtain essential oils and extracts for application in the perfume and cosmetic industries. The main goal of t Status: Completed Start date: Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |

| The growing biofuel industry generates by-products that have shown promise as energy and protein feeds in ruminant diets. The objective of this project was to determine the effects of by-products of biodiesel production, obtained from different sources of oilseeds, on the in vitro degradability of nutrients, in vitro ruminal fermentation and methane gas production. Palisadegrass ( Brachiaria brizantha) was used as a model. Its isolated incubation was considered as a contro ... Status: Completed Start date: Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
| This is a broad research project on Barbados nuts, a crop with potential to become raw material for the production of biodiesel and aviation biokerosene. In spite of its high oil production, the plant has not been totally domesticated yet, that is, there are not different recommended cultivars or production systems for each region of the country yet. In this project, which is partially funded by Finep and CNPq, there are 22 participating research institutions in all Brazilian regions, 16 of whic Status: Completed Start date: Sun Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
| The artisanal cheese production stands out as an important activity for income generation of family farmers in different regions of the country, such as the Coalho Cheese produced in the Northeast, the Colonial Cheese in the South and, more specifically, the Minas Artesanais cheese types, such as Canastra and Serro, produced in the State of Minas Gerais. However, among the main obstacles related to production and marketing in the formal market, stands the possibility (or not) to reconcile legal Status: Completed Start date: Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
