Precision Agriculture for the Sustainability of Productive Systems in Brazilian Agri-Business
The Precision Agriculture Network counts with 20 Embrapa research Units and approximately 200 researchers: 15 experimental units distributed throughout the Northeast, the Mid-West, Southeast and South of the country; 11 perennial and annual cultures, and approximately 100 Research, Development and Innovation activities. The network was started at the end of 2009, and proposed to establish agricultural and stockbreeding concepts focused on space-time variability management for the sustainability of annual productive systems of corn, soy, rice, whey, cotton and perennial and semi-perennial cultures such as grapes, apples, grasslands and sugarcane. The Precision Agriculture network unites different cultures; with different research areas; of different technological maturity and Agriculture and Stockbreeding depth; presenting a variety of concepts and even different expectations between the project's members.
