| The presence of trees causes the interception of part of solar radiation in agricultural systems, mainly affecting shaded plants and variables such as energy balance, winds and water use by plants (Brenner, 1996). In addition to the restriction of solar radiation, there is also competition for water and nutrients near the row of trees (Magalhães et al., 2018). Thus, controlling competition for light among forest species and reducing tree drain strength for agricultural and forage crops can repre ...

| “The project aims to investigate the possibilities of using systems of integrated crop-livestock-forest (ICLF) systems as a local development strategy in the state of Mato Grosso. It proposes a discussion of the issue in a broad perspective, taking into account their economic, social, and environmental impacts, and the alignment of this strategy to Federal Government programs, contributing to the promotion of the region’s development.”Keywords: ICLF system, Public Policy, Sustainable Local Devel Status: Completed Start date: Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| The project “Technology transfer to consolidate low carbon emission agriculture in Tocantins” was carried out to consolidate an agriculture based in low carbon emission technologies, sharing the knowledge in conservation agriculture through capacity building of scientists, agronomists, extension workers and consultants, which were then capable to transfer low carbon technologies such as no-till system, degraded pastures recovery and integrated crop-livestock-forestry systems to farmers of all st Status: Completed Start date: Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| 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.

| Integration systems involving crops, livestock and forestry (ICLF) have been gaining more space in the national agricultural sector over the last few years as a sustainable alternative for the production of grains, meat and wood. In addition to economic and social sustainability, the ILPF modalities contribute to adapting and mitigating climate change, in full alignment with the ABC+ Plan, launched to achieve the agricultural sector's goals by 2030 in view of climate scenarios.The objective of t Status: Completed Start date: Wed Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2021 |
| Dairy farming in the country is practiced in all biomes, consisting of an important production chain in Brazil. In the state of Mato Grosso, the activity is among the most important for small and medium-sized producers, practiced in all municipalities in the state. Milk production in Mato Grosso presents challenges, especially in the north of the state, characterized mainly by high temperatures and humidity. In this sense, silvopastoral systems (SSPs) for milk production emerge as a strategy to Status: Completed Start date: Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2020 |
| Considered the largest reserve of biological diversity in the world, the Amazon is also the largest Brazilian biome in extension, occupying almost half of the national territory (49.3%). Based on its unique characteristics and vulnerability, the need to strengthen productive activities that combine income improvement, social inclusion and proper use of its natural resources becomes increasingly clear. Among its main economic activities, the growth of agriculture in the Legal Amazon has been quit Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2019 |
| Concern about the environmental impacts of agricultural activities has taken on a large dimension, especially in the last decade. These impacts are expressed, for example, in reduction of biological diversity, erosion and contamination of soils, silting and contamination of water springs, increase of agrochemical residues in food, among others. However, the incorporation of the concept of sustainability has led agricultural research in the growing search for alternative and sustainable models of Status: Completed Start date: Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| 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 |
