| Sugarcane is one of the pillars of the Brazilian agricultural economy. Productivity gains combined with an industrial activity developed for use in the sugar and ethanol production have led researchers to seek agroindustrial management strategies to reduce costs. This project proposes the application of diazotrophic bacteria as a biological input to fully or partially meet sugarcane's nutritional needs with regard to nitrogen.

| This project has developed approaches of analysis, categorization and disclosure of information regarding agricultural development in centers with expressive production of soy and sugarcane, and with focus on their relationship between land use and occupation dynamics, agricultural practices and other environmental and socio-economic variables. In the agro-environmental sense, the analysis and mapping were focused in processes of agricultural development, highlighting the importance of the secon Status: Completed Start date: Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |

The national and international demand for ethanol and the increasing concerns with world climatic changes is generating the expectation of an increase in the use of biofuels and consequently an increase in the area planted with sugarcane in Brazil. Brazil is the largest producer and exporter of sugarcane products in the world, and the state of São Paulo has been responsible for nearly half of the national production in the latest years. Among the state's regions, the northeastern portion, whi ...Status: Completed Start date: Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |

The ‘cipó-titica’ vine (Heterops flexuosa) is a non-timber forest product of economical importance in Amapá. Its long and resistant aerial roots have historically been used for crafting furniture, utensils and handcrafts. The project will be situated in Nova Canaã settling, at Porto Grande municipality (Amapá) and aims to evaluate cipó-titica plants density in the forest in order to identify phorophytes (tree species that host the vine) and thus determine the rate of growth and emission of ne ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| What is the cost of producing one liter of milk in Brazil? Any answer between R$ 0.10 and R$ 1.70 is true. But, also, it is not essentially true. This occurs for two major reasons, both resulting from a lack of standardization. The first reason is that there is an immense amount of production systems in Brazil, from the South to the North. Therefore, in Brazil, rural properties are not standardized, as in Europe, the USA, Canada and Oceania. Each farm is a farm. The second reason is that there i Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| 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 Status: Completed Start date: Tue Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2016 |
| 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 |
| Embrapa Swine and Poultry has developed production cost surveys and studies since the late 1980s, initially for swine and, since the 1990s, for broiler chicken. The aim of the project "Cost of Compliance" is to comparatively access the costs that farmers face to adjust to environmental legislation, and legislation on food security and animal wellfare, in order to project impact on competitiveness.
