Summary of Embrapa cria selo Soja Baixo Carbono

00:00:00 - 00:00:00

In the YouTube video "Embrapa cria selo Soja Baixo Carbono," researchers introduce the Soja Baixo Carbono program, which aims to create a certification seal for low carbon soybean production. This program encourages sustainable practices such as minimal tillage, crop rotation, and the elimination of nitrogen fertilization, all of which help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and sequester carbon in the soil. Other practices, including integrated pest and disease management and the integration of livestock farming and forestry, are also required. Producers can use inoculation with nitrogen-fixing bacteria instead of chemical nitrogen, benefiting both the environment and the producer. The certification seal serves as proof of sustainability and differentiates low carbon soybean production in the market, potentially commanding a higher price.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Embrapa cria selo Soja Baixo Carbono," researchers discuss the topic of Low Carbon Soybean production. The Soja Baixo Carbono program is developing a certification seal for soybeans produced using good practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Good practices include minimal tillage, crop rotation, and the elimination of nitrogen fertilization in soybean production. These methods help sequester carbon in the soil and reduce emissions. Additionally, other practices such as integrated pest and disease management and the integration of livestock farming and forestry are required. The use of inoculation with bacteria that can fix nitrogen from the air instead of using chemical nitrogen during soybean cultivation is also beneficial for both the producer and the environment. The seal serves as a way to prove the sustainability of the soybean production and differentiate it in the market, potentially commanding a higher price.
