| 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 Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2019 |
| Embrapa has built a highly conducive environment for the use of strategic and competitive intelligence to support action planning and scheduling and to provide important information to the different agents in the supply chains to which it relates.

| Native forests help regulate the Earth's climate by storing carbon (C) and reducing greenhousegases (GHG), which heat up the planet. For this reason, removing C from the atmosphere andstoring it in the biomass of trees (roots, trunks, branches, and leaves) and in the soil andlowering emissions of GHG such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide can helpregulate global temperatures. However, there is still little information about the magnitude ofthese processes in most forests, including u Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2019 |
