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 ...

The identification of economically relevant genes might translate into considerable competitive advantage in markets more and more competitive and globalized. Genes which are associated with plague resistance, productivity increase and organoleptic attributes (which can be experienced by the senses such as color, taste and texture) appreciated by consumers are extremely important to the Brazilian stockbreeding market. There is a considerable number of bioinformatic tools that are available to th

Embrapa has built a highly conducive environment for the use of strategic and competitive intelligence to support action planning and scheduling and to provide important information to the different agents in the supply chains to which it relates. This is expressed in Embrapa's Agropensa (Strategic Intelligence System) dedicated to producing and disseminating knowledge and information in support of the formulation of research, development and innovation strategies for the corporation and its par

raditional breeding has generated significant genetic gain over time. However, this strategy falls short of yielding information on the biological processes involved. Additionally, there are great difficulties for the genetic improvement of characteristics which are measured solely in one gender and/or late in the life span of the animal. With the development of DNA chips it became possible maximizing genetic gain by reducing the generation interval and increasing the intensity of selection. The
