RumenGases Brazil – Conceptual advance on enteric methane diagnosis diagnostic and mitigation strategies in ruminants in Brazil Currently there is much discussion about the environmental impact of livestock and agricultural activities. The Brazilian livestock sector in particular has been criticized for causing emission of significant amounts of greenhouse gases. Among the various greenhouse gases, livestock production practices contribute significantly to the emission of enteric methane, which can become a non-tariff barrier to exports of animal products. In this regard, research has pointed to the need to develop metho Status: Completed Start date: Sun May 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011
Life Cycle Assessment of sugarcane and byproducts produced in the Brazilian Mid-South, based on data, factors and models adapted to Brazilian conditions. The aim of this project is to assess the environmental performance of sugarcane and byproducts produced in Brazil's Mid-South, in traditional regions and in crop expansion areas, through the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach. The main project differentials will be the use of primary data, preferrably, or of secondary data from official sources, as well as the generation and the use of parameters, factors and models to support the elaboration of life cycle inventories (LCIs) that suit Braz ...

RumenGases – Conceptual advancement in diagnosis and strategy for the mitigation of enteric methane in ruminants in Brazil The intensification and adoption of integrated systems has allowed advances for sustainable livestock production. It is important to obtain production with minimal environmental impact. Brazilian livestock, in particular, have been following this trend. The cattle herd contributes significantly to the emission of greenhouse gases, mainly with the emission of enteric methane, which can become a non-tariff barrier for the export of animal products. In this sense, the RumenGases project was develop Status: Completed Start date: Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011
Environmental Services that Aim to Manage Amazon Productive Systems Environmental systems (SA) have gained great visibility as mechanisms of environmental conservation and improvement of living conditions for rural communities. However, when compared to services of provision of food, fiber and energy, SAs such as carbon sequestration and water conservation are generally put in an inferior level. Given its importance even to the sustainability of agriculture, it is necessary that these SAs move from the sphere of discourse into the sphere of practical realities.
