Maps, zoning and monitoring resources are examples of geospatial information which are daily used for planning, managing resources, decision making, and for public policies. Geoinformation are of strategic importance for several sectors, including for strengthening Brazilian agriculture and for transferring the knowledge produced by Embrapa to society. To quickly produce, organize and make geospatial services and data available, Embrapa needed an up-to-date, modern data infrastructure, to ena ...Status: Completed Start date: Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| Development programs aimed at increasing production, improve milk quality and assist genetic selection of livestock are strategic initiatives to modernize the dairy chain in Brazil. Farmers, mostly family-scale, need special guidance to access technological information and training programs to increase production and improve productivity of the dairy herd. In addition, action plans and strategies to improve milk quality are essential in order to promote their inclusion in the formal dairy market Status: Completed Start date: Fri Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
| This project aims to contribute to improving the management, quality and biosafety of commercial egg-laying barns, through the implementation of best practices in production and in the training of technicians and farmers. It is aimed at smallholders and mid-sized family farmers whose egg production derives from hens raised in traditional aviaries (California-type layer cages).

Forest systems are part of an important land-use strategy aimed at the maintenance of biodiversity, at the commercialization of wood products and other products, at quality of life and at environmental services such as carbon fixation. The greenhouse gas emission flows and the carbon stocked in the forests are indispensable information, and their estimation may support public policies on development and sustainability. Project GeoSaltus focuses on the use of geotechnologies for the developmen ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| The agribusiness production chains represent 26.4% of Brazil’s GDP, 36% of exports and 39% of the jobs generated in the internal market. The generation of geospatial information about the Brazilian agriculture supports decisions and public policies at different levels and scales. The System for Observation and Monitoring of Agriculture in Brazil (SOMABRASIL) aims to organize and integrate census data and information generated from satellite images into a single database for the whole country, fa Status: Completed Start date: Tue Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
| Failures to transmit information significantly impair the coordination and interaction between the different agents in the milk production chain. A large number of nationally based companies and a myriad of producers and policy makers face the challenge of structuring themselves for competition in a globalized business world. The main objective of the project was to provide information, structural analysis and monitoring of conjunctural developments in the milk production chain, in order to meet Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| In 2011, following an institutional action, Embrapa homogenized the organizational structures of all its Research Centers. This action was aimed at strengthening the process of technological innovation in the corporation. As regards innovation management, this restructuring posed challenges in order to reach its objectives. In this scenario, Embrapa Dairy Cattle's Technological Innovation Team (NIT) incorporated new assignments that required specific skills and knowledge of the entire group, as Status: Completed Start date: Sun Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |

Natural rubber is a strategic product for Brazil and the world. The State of São Paulo has a large share in national production, with perspectives of expansion and the implementation of new rubber plantations at both the business and family farming levels. Although the growth of the crop is expressive, the productive sector lacks updated information. The GeoHevea project uses geotechnology tools to expand knowledge about the dynamics of land use and occupation and to evaluate the sustainabili ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
| The project QUALIMICRO - Implementation and Monitoring of Quality Systems in Embrapa's Microbial Collections aims to implement the corporate quality requirements in 21 collections of microorganisms from 18 research units of the Company located in several Brazilian states. The Project will guarantee the quality in the management of these collections and make them able to meet the requirements of the national and international market.
