| 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 |
| Units of family agriculture and natural resources in the Amazon suffer severe negative impacts due to: the lack of sustainable alternates in the use of agricultural areas, and the expansion of exploitative predatory logging, extensive stockbreeding and large scale mechanized agriculture. Integrated systems of management of natural resources involving technologies that mitigate environmental impact represent sustainable alternates to small farmers and natural resources, once the adoption of more Status: Completed Start date: Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| Local knowledge: social and economic insertion of family milk producers in a sustainable environment Family farming in Brazil has great potential, representing a sector of relevant social and economic importance for Brazilian society, although it also shows weaknesses. Some strategies such as farming on an ecological basis as well as artisanal products have been considered to support and intermediate the insertion of smallholders in the market. To this end, this project sought to implement the use of ecologically based production systems and encourage non-agricultural activities as a means to p Status: Completed Start date: Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| No Brasil, um grande número de agroindústrias familiares elabora suco de uva ‘caseiro’ ou ‘colonial’ pela técnica da panela extratora por arraste de vapor. O produto é vendido em feiras de agricultura familiar e para consumidores do entorno de cada propriedade produtora, contribuindo, de forma importante, para a renda da pequena propriedade rural. A referida panela, embora seja um equipamento de preço bastante acessível, resulta na elaboração de suco com incorporação de água, proveniente do vapo ...

| What is the cost of producing one liter of milk in Brazil? Any answer between R$ 0.10 and R$ 1.70 is true. But, also, it is not essentially true. This occurs for two major reasons, both resulting from a lack of standardization. The first reason is that there is an immense amount of production systems in Brazil, from the South to the North. Therefore, in Brazil, rural properties are not standardized, as in Europe, the USA, Canada and Oceania. Each farm is a farm. The second reason is that there i Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| Concentrated feeds play an important role in milk production, both from the nutritional as the economic aspects, especially for animal production. The behavior of corn and soybean meal prices, for instance, have an important weight in the formation of milk production costs and consequently on the profitability of dairy farming. The current agricultural markets have shown a rise in prices of these grain-based brans. Milk production in Minas Gerais appears as one of the most important activities f Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| The silvopastoral systems are a viable option to avoid degradation of pastures due to their potential to control erosion and the ability of some tree species to add nitrogen and other nutrients to the pasture, improving soil fertility. However, an important aspect in these systems refers to the competition for light between the tree/shrub and herbaceous components. Tiller production and the consequent density of inflorescences, directly related to seed production and, therefore, to natural resee Status: Completed Start date: Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
| Water is an important natural resource for the competitiveness of Brazilian agriculture. Since Brazil is rich in this natural resource, to preserve it and keep it in quantity and quality is strategic. Such a competency demands water efficiency, which is the relationship between the amount of yielded products and the amount of water used for such a production. This project evaluates the performance of water indicators from milk pasture-based and confinement-based production systems and of nutriti Status: Completed Start date: Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |

The TecRede project aims to generate technologies that would, in a short period of time, the development of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) cultivation in cage systems. The project chose the tambaqui to foment the development of cage fish farming since it is a fish native to Amapá, which has favorable domestic and international market demand, with production absorption capacity. The research network intends to determine the standardization of techniques and production systems based on Good Pr ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| In recent years, distance learning via the internet has become an important means of professional qualification, especially in Brazil, a country of continental dimensions. Whereas milk production is scattered throughout the national territory, distance learning offers the opportunity to bring information to professionals across the country. To this end, this project included the design, offering and accomplishment of the first distance learning courses of Embrapa Dairy Cattle, namely: "Sampling, ...
