| In the past years, Brazil has stood out for its leadership and high competitiveness in food production, a position reached especially due to the substantial efforts put into research, development and innovation, associated with free entrepreneurship, natural favorable conditions, abundant and efficient food production, and governmental efforts, notably those of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (Mapa). However, if on one hand the quantitative issues regarding Brazil's food p Status: Completed Start date: Mon Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
| The goal of this project is to develop an integrated database system for the Department of Vegetal Sanity (DSV), the Secretary of Agriculture and Stockbreeding Defense of the Agriculture, Stockbreeding and Provision (Mapa), hoping to facilitate processes of risk analysis of plagues that attack vegetable products. The vegetable product imports which can be potential spreaders of plagues is normatized by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), which is linked to the Committee of Sani Status: Completed Start date: Thu Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
| Despite agri-business's great importance, our principal products are exported in the form of commodities, without any quality specification. In order to commercialize them with quality attributes, it is necessary to make use of processes of quality determination and certification, at low costs, so that the price of the analyzed product won't rise significantly. Thus, it is necessary to develop ultrafast sensors that allow the analysis of thousands of samples an hour and non destructively, which Status: Completed Start date: Wed Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
| The use of nanotechnology has been putting nanoparticles and nanostructures in contact with live organisms in ways not yet fully understood. In agriculture, this interaction can occur on a large scale, such as in the applications of controlled release nanostructure-encapsulated pesticides whose toxicity inherent to the drug release system still requires continual verification. Cases like this have motivated the proposal of this project, whose objective was to evaluate the potential impact on liv Status: Completed Start date: Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |

The Amapá state has extensive forests and savannas, which are important carbon stocks being negatively affected due to agricultural, forestry and industrial activities. Thus the project aims to develop a methodology applicable to the entire State of Amapá, aiming to reach all types of existing vegetation, being the basis for estimates of forest biomass and the quantification of carbon stocks, in addition to enabling the monitoring of changes caused on biomass due to the economic activities de ...Status: Completed Start date: Thu Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2016 |

| What is the cost of producing one liter of milk in Brazil? Any answer between R$ 0.10 and R$ 1.70 is true. But, also, it is not essentially true. This occurs for two major reasons, both resulting from a lack of standardization. The first reason is that there is an immense amount of production systems in Brazil, from the South to the North. Therefore, in Brazil, rural properties are not standardized, as in Europe, the USA, Canada and Oceania. Each farm is a farm. The second reason is that there i Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |

Natural rubber is a strategic product for Brazil and the world. The State of São Paulo has a large share in national production, with perspectives of expansion and the implementation of new rubber plantations at both the business and family farming levels. Although the growth of the crop is expressive, the productive sector lacks updated information. The GeoHevea project uses geotechnology tools to expand knowledge about the dynamics of land use and occupation and to evaluate the sustainabili ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
| Spectroscopy, which is always associated with chemometrics, is a versatile technique that is applied in several areas of science. It is fast, non-destructive, low-cost and, in addition, “clean”, requiring few or no reagents. The latter factor aligns the tool with green chemistry.
