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

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

The end of the traditional bathroom cabinet: new trend saves space, makes cleaning easier, and gives the environment a more modern look in 2026

Forget the brick: A company from Santa Catarina has created a recycled plastic block that eliminates the need for cement and mortar, assembled like interlocking modules, and according to the manufacturer, is more resistant than conventional brick and concrete block.

Already authorized in some European countries, the so-called plastic heart adapts to each patient’s physical activities and, according to scientists, could transform the treatment of heart diseases in the coming decades and increase survival chances around the world.

The oil company Eni discovered a giant gas field at the bottom of the Indonesian sea with an estimated volume in trillions of cubic feet.

Saudi Arabia bought nearly 397,000 tons of Brazilian chicken, but now wants to create a poultry empire in the desert: the self-sufficiency plan targets local production, threatens shipments from BRF, JBS, and Seara, and raises an alert for Brazil in the halal market until 2030.

War in Iran raises fertilizer prices, triggers alert in Brazilian agribusiness, and leads the government to seek new suppliers to avoid impacts on the harvest.

Soybeans plummet in Chicago with favorable weather in the United States, and Brazilian producers hold off sales due to price pressure and lack of market response.

Raising tilapia, the most farmed fish in Brazil, with solar-powered tanks is a trend gaining strength in the field because the panels ensure water oxygenation in places without electricity and reduce costs, although profitability depends on management, feed, and market.

Now Brazil has moved up a level: flying robots are starting to be tested to harvest oranges on farms, selecting ripe fruits with cameras and sensors, sucking each fruit without dropping it, and promising to help producers in the face of labor shortages in orchards.
