| Environmental systems (SA) have gained great visibility as mechanisms of environmental conservation and improvement of living conditions for rural communities. However, when compared to services of provision of food, fiber and energy, SAs such as carbon sequestration and water conservation are generally put in an inferior level. Given its importance even to the sustainability of agriculture, it is necessary that these SAs move from the sphere of discourse into the sphere of practical realities.

This project aims to promote the exchange of scientific knowledge about forest management and local knowledge about extractivism for biodiversity conservation, enabling the development of rural territories in the Amazon, generating income and improving the quality of life of local populations. Management technologies and good practices for the sustainable production of forest products will be disseminated, validated and adapted for açai, Brazil chestnut, andiroba, pracaxi, buriti, bacu ...Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2019 |
| Agroforestry systems (AFS) combine planting trees with agricultural crops or animal husbandry and are considered suitable production systems for the Amazon region because they reconcile agricultural production with the conservation of natural resources, which is a great challenge today.

| With the objective of developing technological innovations for the restoration of degraded pasture in the Brazilian Amazon region, this project involves all Embrapa units in the North region, besides additional ones in the Midwest. The intended result is to develop technological solutions which involve forage planting methods, e.g. no-till farming, intercropping of forage with annual crops, and alternatives techniques, to combat problems such as infestation by weeds and pest insects orlow soil f Status: Completed Start date: Tue Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
| This project aims to recover legal reserve areas (ARL) or areas of permanent preservation (APP), in regions of family agriculture at the Brazilian Oriental Amazon, in the hopes of reducing impacts resulted from agricultural and forest practices. The project aims to train at least 150 family farmers in management of natural resources in areas which are close to bodies of water, and also to recover and monitor these areas' environment. The project will be developed in micro-basins of the Bragança, ... Status: Completed Start date: Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |

The Kamukaia project, in its third phase, focuses on valuing non-timber forest products (NTFP) in the Amazon, aiming at promoting the multiple use of sociobiodiversity products in agroextractive communities and their economic strengthening. The management and the transformation of NTFP are important links for the strengthening of their value chains, essential for the conservation of ecosystems and economic development in the Amazon. It is in this sense that the project is structured, also aim ...Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2019 |
| This project aims to evaluate the productive potential of explored forest areas after one cutting cycle (30 years) and propose a forestry management system for the second cutting cycle in the Amazon. Technological ability and floristic variety of arboreal species will also be evaluated, in areas previously submitted to forest exploration 30 years ago (Tapajós National Forest). This project, headed by Oriental Amazon Embrapa in partnership with Federal Rural University of the Amazon, aims to deve ... Status: Completed Start date: Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| The last decades' expansion of açaí palm cultivated areas in the Amazon was significantly high, it being the source of new jobs and income opportunities for the local population. Even though, the participation of the açaí fruit in the region's agribusiness is rather inexpressive when compared to the volume of fruit production in Brazil.

Project focused on the development of collaborative research on the ecology, management and technological processing of andiroba oil, strengthening the integration of related countries and the conservation of the Amazon rainforest in the region of the Guiana shield. Among the specificities of this study are the comparison of traditional andiroba oil extraction processes in the Brazilian Amazon and in Suriname; monitoring the production and physical-chemical quality of oil associated with best ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| The TerraClass project, a partnership between Embrapa and the National Institute of Space Research (Inpe) initiated in 2010, was created to produce a new outlook, based on scientific and impartial data, on the use and cover of deforested areas of the Brazilian Amazon region, as per annually identified by Inpe's Prodes program. The first maps generated by the project, referring to the use and cover of lands deforested by 2008, 2010, and 2012, respectively, established a starting point for the und Status: Completed Start date: Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
