The essence of precision agriculture resides in the analysis of spatial variability of production factors, especially that of the soil. This analysis' results, interpreted from the standpoint of economical gain and environmental benefits, should guide the use of resources in a localized form, with precision doses. For this purpose, many technologies are used, such as GPS, GIS, sensors, actuators, embedded systems, among others. In Brazil, the adoption of precision agriculture still is a small nu Status: Completed Start date: Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
In order to have the country keep growing and to open new markets, some sectors still require value aggregation to their products, which can only be achieved through the continuous incorporation of new technologies. In special, the quality and certification of agricultural products, biotechnology, agroenergy, environmental monitoring, new uses of agricultural products, precision agriculture and traceability, the inputs (fertilizers, pesticides) industry, innovation in medicine for veterinary use Status: Completed Start date: Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
The TerraClass project, a partnership between Embrapa and the National Institute of Space Research (Inpe) initiated in 2010, was created to produce a new outlook, based on scientific and impartial data, on the use and cover of deforested areas of the Brazilian Amazon region, as per annually identified by Inpe's Prodes program. The first maps generated by the project, referring to the use and cover of lands deforested by 2008, 2010, and 2012, respectively, established a starting point for the und Status: Completed Start date: Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |

This project arose from the need to generate and consolidate geospatial databases, implementing an infrastructure in order to organize and make this data available to improve Embrapa's RD&I capacity. As well as to allow sharing of the data collection to other government agencies and to society, and also the establishment of a multiuser reference center for obtaining spectroradiometric measurements of targets of interest to tropical agriculture. The implementation of Embrapa's Spatial Data Infras ... Status: Completed Start date: Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
A geomorphological mapping of the Restinga de Jurubatiba National Park, in the State of Rio de Janeiro, was proposed in this project, to assist in environmental planning, using geotechnologies and geographic information systems. The delimitation of preservation areas such as the Restinga de Jurubatiba National Park aims to maintain the environmental balance of these environments, a necessary measure due to the expansion of urban areas that suppress natural areas. The paper presented a tempora ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
The project aims at assessing methods and innovative techniques in the area of Remote Sensing and spatial data integration for detection in cultivation practices and production systems, especially integrated crop-livestock-forestry systems (ICLFs) and variations, which constitute one of the key points of the low carbon agriculture policy.

Embrapa Satellite Monitoring, in a partnership with Indiana University (USA), coordinated the research project "Human and Physical Dimensions of Land Use/Cover Change in Amazônia: A multi-scale synthesis”. The project ended in 2010, and was part of the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazônia (LBA). The research encompassed seven study areas and made a transversal analysis of the social and biophysical dimensions of transformations in the Amazon landscape. Rural settlements wer ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
Along with current demand for palm oil ("dendê" oil) by the industries of food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and bio-fuel, it is important to encourage the advance of researches regarding handling techniques that allow longevity, increase in cultivated areas and productivity of the Palm Oil Tree ( Elaeis guineensis Jacq.).
