Brazil is a tropical country with an extensive territorial area and vast plant diversity. This makes the weed species that infest the crops be widely varied. Such characteristics differentiate Brazil from other countries with temperate climates. GM crops that are resistant to herbicides, especially to glyphosate, have created a new scenario for weed control in Brazilian agriculture. Farmers have adopted RR technology right away as efficiency and cost are its main benefits. The use of glyphosate Status: Completed Start date: Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
In the greatest part of the Brazilian Amazon, family farming is practiced with the system of forest slash and burn. This practice is questionable due to the consequential loss of nutrients, the emission of harmful gases into the atmosphere and the risk of uncontrollable fires. This agricultural system keeps productivity levels which decrease with the succession of fires and short set-aside periods. Systems of integrated management of natural resources which involve mitigating technologies of env Status: Completed Start date: Thu Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |

This project aims to recover legal reserve areas (ARL) or areas of permanent preservation (APP), in regions of family agriculture at the Brazilian Oriental Amazon, in the hopes of reducing impacts resulted from agricultural and forest practices. The project aims to train at least 150 family farmers in management of natural resources in areas which are close to bodies of water, and also to recover and monitor these areas' environment. The project will be developed in micro-basins of the Bragança, ... Status: Completed Start date: Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
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.
