Greater Florianópolis Hosts A National Meeting Presenting The Direct Seeding System Of Vegetables, Bringing Together Farmers, Researchers, And Technicians To Discuss Sustainable Agriculture Practices
The Greater Florianópolis will be the stage for an important moment for the future of agriculture on October 1st and 2nd, according to a report published.
The Santa Catarina Agricultural Research and Rural Extension Company (Epagri) organizes the First National Technical Meeting of The Direct Seeding System of Vegetables (SPDH).
The event will bring together farmers, researchers, and extension workers from various regions of the country. The goal is to demonstrate how the SPDH can transform vegetable and fruit cultivation, ensuring efficient and sustainable production.

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.

New Fiat EV, priced at R$ 77,000, will bring a reinterpretation of the 147 and a consumption equivalent to 70 km/l.

Stamping on pork may seem strange, but it reveals an important detail about food safety that many people overlook at the butcher shop.
The meeting will feature two formats: lectures in the auditorium of Epagri’s headquarters in Florianópolis and practical activities at a rural property in Antônio Carlos.
The program will bring participants closer to the techniques that have been helping to improve soil fertility, reduce costs, and enhance the work of family farmers.
In addition, visitors will have access to concrete data and real experiences from those who have already adopted the system in their fields.
Researchers And Farmers From Greater Florianópolis Discuss The Direct Seeding System
The direct seeding system is an innovation that keeps the soil always covered with vegetation, preventing erosion and ensuring greater balance in the field.
This technique, developed by Epagri together with family farmers, reduces the dependence on chemical inputs and mimics natural processes of ecosystems.
In Greater Florianópolis, the event will be a unique opportunity to learn about the results already achieved with the SPDH.
The lectures will cover topics such as the mitigation of greenhouse gases (GHG), carbon dynamics in cultivated areas, soil enzymatic activity, and economic gains from the practice.
The viability of the system in different crops, such as onion, chayote, lettuce, and passion fruit, will also be demonstrated.
Participants will have access to technical information, always accompanied by real examples from farmers who apply the method in their daily lives.
Vegetables Grown In The Direct Seeding System Strengthen Farmers In Greater Florianópolis
In addition to generating sustainability, the SPDH has already demonstrated significant gains for those who live from the production of vegetables and fruits.
In municipalities of Greater Florianópolis, family farmers have proven that it is possible to produce at lower costs, improve soil fertility, and still increase productivity.
The system also helps reduce pests and diseases, providing security for cultivation and income stability.
During the second day of the meeting, in Antônio Carlos, there will be a field day. This activity will allow visitors to see up close how management with the direct seeding system works on rural properties.
This practical experience aims to show that the technique is viable and can be adapted to different scales of production, always valuing environmental preservation.
Rural Producers And Institutions Join Forces In Greater Florianópolis For Agriculture
The holding of the national technical meeting in Greater Florianópolis involves the participation of important institutions.
Researchers from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), the State University of Santa Catarina (Udesc), and the Institute of Rural Development of Paraná (IDR-PR) will be present.
Family farmers will also have space to share experiences, highlighting the importance of uniting scientific knowledge and popular wisdom.
The event coordinator, Humberto Bicca Neto, emphasizes that the proposal is to bring different audiences closer: farmers, extension workers, researchers, and technicians.
This exchange of information strengthens the network of professionals committed to sustainable agriculture. The program has been designed to offer both theoretical and practical content, enabling a complete view of the technique.
National Technical Meeting of The SPDH
