The National Solid Waste Program PNRS (LEI No. 12,305/2010) determines the suitability of commercial fish production to the rules for reducing environmental liabilities. All material, substances, objects, or goods discarded resulting from human activities in society are classified as solid waste, which, when not treated correctly, can cause numerous environmental problems, negatively impa…
In order to contribute to the solution of the correct destination of organic waste in line with the national solid waste policy (PNRS - Law nº 12.305/10 and CETESB Nº 126/2021/P), Sofien will manufacture and sell composting implements with specific rotors to work in the composting of different wastes, using numerical methods to develop their products. As a proof of concept in Fapesp's Pha…
The aim or the proposed study is to provide sustainability-related supports for the Brazilian low carbon agriculture program from an water use efficiency, productivity and soil quality point of view, exploiting the capabilities of satellite remote sensing data and precision agriculture analysis. This program, established in 2010, aims at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 160 million to…
The production of biofuels is justified only if their economic and environmental impacts are favourable in relation to sources of similar energy, and if there are real benefits to all segments of society directly involved. One of the innovations that should be incorporated into the production of sugarcane, seeking greater sustainability and profitability of the system, is the Precision Ag…
The astonishing fast rate of technology evolution has given rise to a new era of scientific knowledge discovery. This new age of science, known as e-Science, is described as the new great computational and multidisciplinary team science requiring novel methodologies for data storage, modeling and analysis. In particular, the development of transactional and analytical software systems for…

Although in recent years integrated crop-livestock systems have been replacing traditional agricultural production and extensive/degraded pastureland areas, there is a lack of knowledge about its impact on soil variability and greenhouse gas flux. This proposal aims to monitor and model integrated areas, considering its dynamics, combining remote sensing, precision agriculture and biogeoc…

Site-specific crop management, as the basic precision agriculture concept, is essential to increase sugarcane yield. Thus, spatial variability characterization of the soil fertility attributes must be done satisfactorily in order to allow the variable fertilization rates. For this, the conventional grid soil sampling has shown time-consuming, costly and prohibitive. Among the alternatives…
