The changes in climate behavior will probably bring changes to the hydrological cycle. As a result, these variations will probably affect crop development, crop production, and water consumption.
Therefore, the project’s proposal is to determine the water requirement for irrigation in the current weather and in different future climate scenarios for the cropping of pineapple and coconut in the North, and orange, in the Northwest of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, since those are the cro ...

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.
On a local scale, the goal is to evaluate the potential of new techniques and methodologies that apply to the new Sentinel 2 sensor with regard to the det ...

The soil is of vital importance for the planet. The soil is the main support of agriculture; for climate change, it is one of the regulating elements of the water cycle.
It is in this context that FAO and Embrapa signed an agreement, aimed at the operation of a digital soil mapping for Latin America, as part of the “support for the establishment of the second stage of the Latin American soil system” and whose results and products will be: a) Preparation of a package and program for capacity- ...
