This work's proposal is to develop a pilot project focused on carrying out two objectives that target the corporative environment. The first is to build for the visually impaired a website that will allow them to access Embrapa's findings in the fields of science, technology and innovation. The second aims to adapt the technologies into specific material that would allow these persons' interaction with Embrapa's science and technology research findings in key places such as fairs, exhibitions or

According to a mapping made by the Brazilian Family Budget Survey, which investigates individual food consumption in a total sample of homes, there is a scenario that favors an epidemic of obesity and other non-communicable chronic conditions related to excessive and/or unbalanced food consumption. Thus encouraging the consumption of vegetables helps healthy diets, since they are served on the side of a protein and a carbohydrate. Vegetables are low in calories and rich in water, fiber, vitamins

Because it is home to the greatest biodiversity on the planet, Brazil enjoys a wealth of non-timber forest products (NTFPs). In recent decades, governments and NGOs have focused onthese products as a source of income for rural communities and traditional populations, aswell as to help preserve and sustainably manage forests. In the south of the country, Araucariaforests are comprised of native fruit trees with significant use potential, such as gabiroba(Campomanesia spp.). But these species are

Technological advances in milk production systems are related to genetic improvement and nutritional management. Genetic improvement has made it possible to obtain animals increasingly more productive, which implies a greater demand for nutrients and, consequently, a finer adjustment of diets, in order to meet the nutritional requirements of the animals and reduce the incidence of metabolic disorders (acidosis, laminitis, hypocalcemia, etc.). Another important factor to be evaluated is the use o

Failures to transmit information significantly impair the coordination and interaction between the different agents in the milk production chain. A large number of nationally based companies and a myriad of producers and policy makers face the challenge of structuring themselves for competition in a globalized business world. The main objective of the project was to provide information, structural analysis and monitoring of conjunctural developments in the milk production chain, in order to meet
