Palm Oil Project: Agro-forest Systems in Family Farming The adoption of agro-forest systems (SAFs) which are based in (agro) ecological practices has great potential for generating social, economic and environmental benefits, above all to family farmers. Thus, it was implanted, in the county of Tomé-Açu, Pará, SAFs composed by annual and perennial species, combined with Palm Oil Trees (Elaeis guineensis), in three family estates. In each one of them, the SAFs were installed after the area's preparation without the use of fires, based in the principle ... Status: Completed Start date: Sun Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010
Amazalert – Critical feedbacks between climate and land-use change in Amazônia: warning systems 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 ...

Tipitamba - TT: Transfers of Technologies to Recover Altered Areas for the Family Agriculture in Pará's Northeast 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
Environmental Services that Aim to Manage Amazon Productive Systems Environmental systems (SA) have gained great visibility as mechanisms of environmental conservation and improvement of living conditions for rural communities. However, when compared to services of provision of food, fiber and energy, SAs such as carbon sequestration and water conservation are generally put in an inferior level. Given its importance even to the sustainability of agriculture, it is necessary that these SAs move from the sphere of discourse into the sphere of practical realities.

Agroforestry systems for environmental production and recovery in the Amazon Agroforestry systems (AFS) combine planting trees with agricultural crops or animal husbandry and are considered suitable production systems for the Amazon region because they reconcile agricultural production with the conservation of natural resources, which is a great challenge today. This project intends to develop efficient agroforestry systems that are compatible with the Amazonian environment and that generate a positive impact on the socio-economic conditions of rural producers ...

Forest restoration of degraded areas as production systems in Legal Reserves in the Amazon/Cerrado buffer zone and in the Cerrado. The goal is to assess the economic and ecological effectiveness of different models of forest restoration of degraded areas through the induction of secondary ecological succession, by natural regeneration, planting of seedlings, and the direct sowing of native and exotic tree species to compose the Legal Reserve.

Knowledge strengthening, organization of information and elaboration of instruments supporting Payments for Water Environmental Services Programs in the rural community One of the greatest challenges of humanity is to ensure water in sufficient quantity and quality to supply the global demand. One way to achieve that would be to use economic instruments. An example of this type of compensation is the Payment for Environmental Services (PES). Currently, Payments for Water Environmental Services Programs are in continuous expansion in the country due to the increasing demand for water and society’s willingness to pay for the services. This project aim ... Status: Completed Start date: Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012
Conservation of Natural Resources in Oriental Amazon's Hydrographic Meso-basins: Integrating Initiatives to Promote Participatory Planning in Rural Environmental Management Sustainability of traditional cultivation systems (slash-and-burn) depends especially on long periods of set-aside in order to reestablish the stock of the soil's nutrients and raw organic material used and/or lost during the agricultural period. Population growth and decrease in the region's secondary vegetation availability has progressively reduced the set-aside period, subsequently increasing the pressure on riparian areas and cultivated ones. The result if degradation of natural resources a Status: Completed Start date: Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009
