PRS-Cerrado promotes Seminar to publicize Mato Grosso do Sul Research

Event in Campo Grande will present research that promotes sustainable rural areas

The Sustainable Rural Project – Cerrado will promote, on Wednesday, 05/08, the first Seminar to disseminate the Research supported by the Project. The event will take place from 8:30 am at Embrapa Gado de Corte, in Campo Grande, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. 10 research studies will be presented that are driving advances and innovations towards more sustainable production in the countryside.

100 free places are being made available to the general public, therefore, to participate, it is necessary to register using a form. Check out more details about the research that will be presented at the event, four selected by the Research and Development (R&D) Notice and six by Directed Research (PD):

About PRS – Cerrado and investment in research

The PRS – Cerrado aims to promote the generation of knowledge and strengthen the critical mass of teaching, research and development institutions and researchers involved in themes that encompass the adoption of low carbon emission technologies in the Cerrado. To this end, it provides financial support for the execution of research projects in two lines of action:

● Research and Development (R&D) Notice – aimed at teaching and research institutions and their researchers, aims to attract new initiatives and innovations aimed at sustainable agricultural production systems with a focus on low-carbon farming and technological and market in the states where the project operates;

● Targeted Research – encompasses projects that aim to respond to the main gaps and current knowledge demands on the topic and technologies supported by the project, in addition to monitoring and monitoring priority research to achieve the project’s objectives.

With an investment of more than 12 million reais, PRS – Cerrado supports 35 scientific research grouped by theme, 13 of which are in the Directed Research line and 22 included in the selection process of the Research and Development Notice.
