Ordinance Establishes the National Sustainable Irrigation Program for Family Agriculture, Focused on Efficient Technologies, Renewable Energy, and Actions to Increase Productivity and Environmental Preservation

An ordinance published this Wednesday (11/19) established the National Sustainable Irrigation Program for Family Agriculture, known as Pronisaf. The objective is to promote the efficient use of water resources and improve the living conditions of family farmers.

The measure was signed by the ministries of Agrarian Development, Integration and Regional Development, Mines and Energy, and Development and Social Assistance, Family, and Fight Against Hunger.

Proposals of Pronisaf

The program aims to encourage low environmental impact and high efficiency irrigation technologies, associated with the use of renewable energy and agroecological management methods.

Guidelines and Priorities

According to the federal government, the program intends to integrate soil and water conservation practices with the diversification of water collection sources. One of the guidelines is to provide tools for access to credit and financing for the acquisition of technologies aimed at sustainable irrigation, in addition to promoting the use of renewable energy, such as solar, to power irrigation systems.

Pronisaf will prioritize family farmers with inefficient or non-existent irrigation systems, who produce on agroecological bases or are in agroecological transition, who are in areas with water scarcity, or who are organized in associations.

Implementation and Expected Impacts

Implementation will occur through agreements and partnership instruments signed by the involved ministries, states, municipalities, and civil society entities.

The expectation is that the program will contribute to increasing the productivity of family agriculture, generating income in rural areas, and reducing regional inequalities, as stated by the government.

Implementation and Expected Impacts

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Workers were opening a modern road in Dover when they found, 6 meters below the asphalt, a 3,500-year-old boat made of stitched oak and plant fibers.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

Consumers eat six times more chicken than in the 1960s, global meat supply quadruples in 60 years, and FAO report reveals the invisible cost on the plate: livestock could drive 80% of the increase in agricultural emissions over the next decade.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

A robotic hand uses touch and vision to pick ripe fruits with nearly 100% accuracy. Researchers have built a flexible robotic claw that detects the ripeness point and gently picks fruits.

IBGE opens 8,238 temporary positions to work on the 12th Agricultural Census, with salaries of up to R$ 4,008.00, food allowance of R$ 1,192.00, and online registration until July 1, 2026.

It’s not a car, it’s a giant 128 meters long and 10,000 tons: China launches the world’s largest electric ship, longer than a football field, with 10 battery containers totaling 19 MWh and a system capable of exchanging all the energy at the port.

Mechanic mixes boat and car parts, uses adapted hull, wheels, and two engines to build an amphibious vehicle that drives on land and sails in the sea.

Hyundai i20 arrives in Brazil with a price to compete with the Volkswagen Tera: 1.0 turbo engine with 115 hp, automatic transmission, 346-liter trunk, and two 12.3-inch screens targeting compact cars and entry-level SUVs.
