We are excited to announce a new opportunity for collaboration in expanding beef traceability in Mato Grosso, the state with the largest cattle herd in Brazil. We are looking for an organisation (or consortium of organisations) interested in collaborating with us on this journey. The work would go beyond the efforts of the Sustainable Calf Production Program. Together, we aim to enhance traceability through a robust Traceability Protocol developed in 2021 by IDH and Natcap under the management of the National Confederation of Agriculture. Our goal? To enter 1 million calves from deforestation-free properties into a blockchain system by the end of 2025. Key deliverables include: ✅ A study on incentives for producers at each stage of the value chain to adopt the Protocol. ✅ Stakeholder engagement across the value chain. ✅ A roadmap for integrating traceability systems, promoting transparency without giving up full protection of strategic data for all parties. See all the details in the below link: https://lnkd.in/dMXkk9Jc

Recent study by Embrapa Gado de Leite (Embrapa Milk Cattle) indicates that extreme heat causes significant losses in Brazilian dairy production. According to researcher Marcos Vinícius Barbosa da Silva, it is estimated that a cow can lose up to 15 kg of milk per lactation period due to heat stress, which represents a 25% reduction in production. (Embrapa) UNIUM GROUP, INC., formed by the Castrolanda Cooperativa Agroindustrial, Frísia and Capal Cooperativa Agroindustrial cooperatives, announced an investment of more than US$ 86.47 million in the construction of a new powdered milk factory in Castro, State of Paraná, Brazil. In 2023, the group produced more than 1 billion L of milk, becoming the second largest producer in Brazil. (Unium Group) Researchers in Chile develop technology that uses a yeast strain (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) to extend the shelf life of berries. During its metabolic process, the strain produces hydrogen sulfide, capable of preserving the quality of fruits and vegetables post-harvest and reducing losses due to spoilage. “We intend to extend the post-harvest period by up to seven days”, sayd Clara Núñez, quality analyst at Agro Frutillas San Pedro. (Agro Frutillas San Pedro) Mexico’s National Water Commission points out that the drought can cause delays in the planting of annual crops, as well as limited growth of crops or pastures and an increased risk of fires. In the northwest of the country, dams are at their lowest levels ever, with an average of 11%. (Conagua (Comisión Nacional del Agua)

Dive into the 17th edition of our quarterly bulletin, AgriSustainability Matters, to discover how maize bioethanol is driving both energy transition and sustainable agriculture in Brazil. 🌽🌱 Guilherme Nolasco, Executive Chairman of the Brazilian Maize Ethanol Association, provides an in-depth look at how maize bioethanol production is capturing a larger share of the national market. Ensuring a stable supply of bioethanol is crucial in Brazil, where legislation mandates that petrol contain 27% ethanol. Beyond its role in urban mobility, biorefineries also produce dried distillers grains —a nutrient-rich byproduct used for animal feed, which plays a significant role in enhancing the sustainability of livestock farming.   Click the link to learn more about this impactful initiative.   Guilherme Nolasco Andrea Verissimo UNEM - União Nacional do Etanol de Milho #Brazil #AgriSustainabilityMatters #RenewableEnergy

Over the past two decades, the area planted with corn in Brazil has experienced an impressive growth of 74.6%, increasing from 12.8 million to 22.3 million hectares, according to the National Supply Company (Conab). This progress reflects the positive impact of innovations in genetic improvement and the adoption of new technologies, which have boosted productivity and made corn an attractive crop, particularly due to its financial return for producers. The biofuels sector has been one of the main drivers of this growth, with corn accounting for 16% of national ethanol production. Programs like the corn ethanol initiative have helped stabilize grain prices, creating a safer and more advantageous environment for farmers. In this context, the development of more resilient hybrids, capable of withstanding biotic and abiotic stresses, has been essential for ensuring the crop's success in challenging regions like the Cerrado. Innovative Solutions for Corn Protection The use of semiochemicals has revolutionized sustainable pest management in corn, offering green solutions that include mating disruption technologies using pheromones and attract-and-kill systems, such as those developed by ISCA lnc. and ISCA Brasil. #Acttra #Percevejo (also known as #Accttra #Stinkbug and #Acttra #Chinche): Applied at planting, it protects crop establishment during the critical phase of seedling development by combating stink bugs that could compromise early growth. #Noctovi: Used during the tasseling stage, it is essential for controlling caterpillars such as the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), the corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea), and other pests like Helicoverpa armigera. Noctovi has proven highly effective in protecting corn ears, ensuring greater productivity and higher yields. These tools not only safeguard plants from pests but also contribute to more sustainable agricultural practices, reducing reliance on chemical insecticides and promoting greater environmental balance. The future of corn cultivation in Brazil is increasingly aligned with innovations that integrate high productivity and sustainability. Good for the grower, good for the consumer, great for the planet.
