In family farming system, farmers and their families are responsible for agricultural work and for the management of small and medium property. Often, the low purchasing power of the majority and the lack of appropriate technical guidance make farmers adopt undesirable practices while growing maize. The range of satisfactory yields depends, among other factors, on a good soil fertility, seeding in appropriate times, an effective management of insect pests and diseases, and especially quality ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
The overall objective of this project was to strengthen Brazil’s green economy by harmonizing economic development and environmental conservation through sustainable agriculture that does not harm the environment, using soil and plant biomass management in organic production systems as a starting point. Unlike many agricultural production systems, organic agriculture offers a range of practices and techniques that potentially contribute to increase sustainability, including soil and plant biomas Status: Completed Start date: Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
From an economic point of view, Brazilian agribusiness has been recognized as modern, prosperous, profitable and competitive activity whose magnitude has established Brazil as a world agricultural power. The activity accounts for 26% of the gross domestic product, 42% of the volume of Brazilian exports, and 37% of the total number of jobs in the country. The finding from this scenario is that development in the country is strongly dependent on an increasing production of agricultural products ...Status: Completed Start date: Mon Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
Promoting the diffusion of integrated peanut production practices, with emphasis on the biological control of fungi to reduce product contamination by aflatoxin in Mali, is the goal of this project. The action has made the knowledge exchange between Brazilian and African researchers possible. Mali is the second largest peanut producing country of the African continent. However, the product's high contamination rates in the country affect the crops and cause health risk for consumers. As an alter Status: Completed Start date: Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
The adoption of Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) contributes to the development of scientific research, as they result in greater reliability and efficiency of the results. In order to follow some of the current standards, such as GLP or ISO 17025, the laboratory must adopt measures of organization, control, training, standardization and registration of its activities. The laboratory must also adopt practices that guarantee the safety of its personnel and the community in general. Among these is 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 |
