| 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 |
| Implementing communication and technology transfer actions that maximize the understanding, use and reuse of information and technologies generated by Embrapa and adapted to the state of Mato Grosso. The proposal is to promote in loco practical activities such as transfer and environmental education activities, exploring the rural space defined in technological (annual and perennial crops) and ecological (Permanent Preservation Areas- PPA) pathways, and the virtual space with the use of informat Status: Completed Start date: Wed Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |

| Promoting the diffusion of integrated peanut production practices, with emphasis on the biological control of fungi to reduce product contamination by aflatoxin in Mali, is the goal of this project. The action has made the knowledge exchange between Brazilian and African researchers possible. Mali is the second largest peanut producing country of the African continent. However, the product's high contamination rates in the country affect the crops and cause health risk for consumers. As an alter Status: Completed Start date: Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| Local knowledge: social and economic insertion of family milk producers in a sustainable environment Family farming in Brazil has great potential, representing a sector of relevant social and economic importance for Brazilian society, although it also shows weaknesses. Some strategies such as farming on an ecological basis as well as artisanal products have been considered to support and intermediate the insertion of smallholders in the market. To this end, this project sought to implement the use of ecologically based production systems and encourage non-agricultural activities as a means to p Status: Completed Start date: Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| 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 |
| Concentrated feeds play an important role in milk production, both from the nutritional as the economic aspects, especially for animal production. The behavior of corn and soybean meal prices, for instance, have an important weight in the formation of milk production costs and consequently on the profitability of dairy farming. The current agricultural markets have shown a rise in prices of these grain-based brans. Milk production in Minas Gerais appears as one of the most important activities f Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| In recent years, distance learning via the internet has become an important means of professional qualification, especially in Brazil, a country of continental dimensions. Whereas milk production is scattered throughout the national territory, distance learning offers the opportunity to bring information to professionals across the country. To this end, this project included the design, offering and accomplishment of the first distance learning courses of Embrapa Dairy Cattle, namely: "Sampling, ...

| Olives and olive oil are products frequently found in Brazilian tables. As a result of the small number of planted areas and insignificant production in Brazil, importing has been an alternative to supply internal demand. In 2007, the country imported US$170 millions in olive oil and US$250 millions in olives, according to data from the Ministry of Development, Industry and International Commerce. Researches carried out by Epamig, in Maria da Fé - MG, demonstrated the possibility of rational exp ... Status: Completed Start date: Thu Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
