Pasture degradation is one of the main problems of Brazilian cattle farming. Several strategies to recover the productivity of degraded pastures have been developed by Embrapa and other research and education institutions. In such studies, reducing the costs of the recovery of degraded pastures has been one of their main focuses. Integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS) have proved to be some of the best alternatives to reduce the costs of pasture fertilization. ICLS have potential to increase t

This partnership proposal will seek to implement and monitor experimental units for recomposition of Permanent Preservation Areas (APP in Portuguese) around the UHE Sinop reservoir, watershed of the Teles Pires river, Mato Grosso. With the filling of the reservoir of UHE Sinop, carried out in the first two months of 2019, the entrepreneur (Sinop Energia) was imposed, via condition requested by the environmental agency responsible for inspection, the environmental regularization of the Permane

Integration systems involving crops, livestock and forestry (ICLF) have been gaining more space in national livestock over the last few years. The implementation of these systems can offer alternatives to ecological, economic and social issues in different regions, mainly in areas that make up fragile biomes such as the Amazon. Thus, the use of integrated production systems is presented as one of the best options to guarantee improvements in production with sustainability. With the conduction of

Dairy farming in the country is practiced in all biomes, consisting of an important production chain in Brazil. In the state of Mato Grosso, the activity is among the most important for small and medium-sized producers, practiced in all municipalities in the state. Milk production in Mato Grosso presents challenges, especially in the north of the state, characterized mainly by high temperatures and humidity. In this sense, silvopastoral systems (SSPs) for milk production emerge as a strategy to
