| In terms of product quality and respect for the environment, care for water resources involving agricultural activities is presented as an opportunity for the implementation of production systems suited to small farms, whether family-based producers or traditional communities as the quilombolas. The objective of this project was to monitor the quality of water from the involvement of local players assembling a critical mass capable of preserving and/or restoring water resources and participating Status: Completed Start date: Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
| Agricultural Sanitary problems don't obey frontier lines, especially when there is land continuity as is the case of the borderland strip between Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia and Peru. Embrapa Satellite Monitoring and the Department of Agricultural Defense of the Ministry of Agriculture have developed a system to help agricultural defense along the borderland strip, with the main goal to contribute to the eradication of the foot and mouth disease. Precise and up-to-date knowledge on spatial distrib Status: Completed Start date: Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
| Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a management tool to assess the environmental performance of products throughout their life cycle. It is a methodology with strong, internationally recognized scientific foundations, established by the series of ISO 14040 standards. LCA is used in some countries to elaborate public policy. It is also widely used by the private sector for the development of products and processes, the development of business-oriented strategies, and to communicate environmental aspe Status: Completed Start date: Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| The aim of this project was to strengthen the SUSTRURAL array - a set of Embrapa projects related to environmental rehabilitation and compliance in the rural landscape of the Atlantic Rainforest in Southern and Southeastern Brazil - based on deeper integration and training of component members.

| Implementing communication and technology transfer actions that maximize the understanding, use and reuse of information and technologies generated by Embrapa and adapted to the state of Mato Grosso. The proposal is to promote in loco practical activities such as transfer and environmental education activities, exploring the rural space defined in technological (annual and perennial crops) and ecological (Permanent Preservation Areas- PPA) pathways, and the virtual space with the use of informat Status: Completed Start date: Wed Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| Given the serious agricultural losses suffered by the highland region of the state of Rio de Janeiro due to heavy rainfall in January 2011, this projects aimed at transferring agroecological technologies that have been already developed and adapted to the region through cooperative methodologies that foster interaction between researchers and farmers. It was expected to contribute to counter the environmental and economic risk scenario afflicting family farming in the region; diversify productio Status: Completed Start date: Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |

This project was carried out in the region of Pernambuco known as Sertão and in the north of Bahia in order to train rural leaders, extension workers and agricultural technicians in silviculture of multiple-use forest species and agroforestry systems, as well as notions of ecology and the environment. Through courses and training, agents were trained to develop and implement a sustainable management plan for the caatinga area in small and medium rural properties in the Brazilian semiarid regi ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| The main environmental problems associated with the waste produced in intensive pig farming are its high organic load, high amount of nutrients, the presence of some metallic species and of micro-organisms, some of which are known pathogenic agents. In general, the waste treatment systems in pig farms still lack the ability to reduce or eliminate pathogenic agents from the waste produced, a fact which makes it difficult to reuse the water in the very facility or even in agriculture.

| 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.

Amazalert was an international research project coordinated by the Alterra Institute at Wageningen University (Netherlands). Embrapa participated in the development of an Early Warning System for detecting signs of large-scale degradation of the Amazon forest, to anticipate impacts caused by climate change and deforestation. The team of scientists featured researchers from 14 research institutions in the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Austria, Germany, Bolivia and Colombia. Multidisciplinar ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
