social interest and
70 awards and
honors
Embrapa is known for its commitment to solving
Brazilian problems. In 2014, such recognition was
materialized in the 70 awards and honors received
by Embrapa’s employees, products, activities, and
projects. Its social responsibility is also reflected in
more than a thousand social actions on family farming,
professional education and training, indigenous
communities, the environment and environmental
education, agrarian reform settlers, traditional and
indigenous communities, food security, community
support and welfare, and occupational health and
safety.
New jobs created in
2014
66,255
This is a baseline figure, as it refers to new jobs
generated by the 106 technologies assessed in this
report. Since Embrapa has developed and transferred
thousands of technologies, products, and services to
Brazilian society throughout the course of its history,
such impact on the number of jobs created each year
is certainly much higher.

Draught-resistant cashew clone generates
wealth in Piauí semiarid
For three years, Northeastern Brazilian hinterlands have been facing one of the most severe
droughts in history. In this period, many cashew
tree orchards have been decimated. Regardless
of such reality, precocious dwarf cashew clone
BRS 226, developed by Embrapa Tropical Agroindustry in partnership with the Northeast Oil Industrial Company (Companhia Industrial de Óle-
os do Nordeste -Cione), has caused surprise due
to its productivity, which has reached 800 kilos of
cashew nuts per hectare even during droughts.
An additional advantage is the resistance to the
illness as known resinosis, which is caused by
a fungus and hinders production. Embrapa’s
dwarf cashew clones have already been recognized as success cases in national and international cashew cropping. Draught-resistant dwarf
cashew is being planted in the regions of Picos
and Pio XI, the two main cashew crop centres of
Piauí state. Moreover, its cultivation is gradually
being disseminated, with satisfactory results, to

New gene bank broadens Embrapa’s contribution to
food security in the planet
Genetic resources are a section of biodiversity that presents real or potential value for humankind. The higher the interest in diversifying
and in aggregating value to agriculture through
new foods, fibres, biomaterials, and other raw
materials grows; the more their improvement
will resort to biodiversity. Therefore, the implementation of gene banks to store samples of
biodiversity from Brazil and from other countries
is necessary. In 2014, Embrapa inaugurated the
largest gene bank of Latin America and one of
the ten largest in the world, which tripled its capacity to store seed samples from 250,000 to
750,000. It conserves 735 species of plants, animals, and microorganisms in cold chambers at
-20ºC, where they can remain unchanged for up
to 100 years. More assurances and food security
for the current and future generations.

Embrapa’s new website potencializes
technology transfer
8.7 million pages were accessed. The average
length of each visit also increased from 2:53
minutes to 4:05 minutes after the launch of
the new platform. This availability of quality
content with free access also earned Embrapa’s website the first place in Latin America in
the web ranking of research centres organized
by the Spanish National Scientific Research
Council (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones
Científicas - CSIC). Such council classified the
websites of 8,000 research centres in the
planet, setting up a global ranking. In
2014, Embrapa was in 24th place, and the
second place among agricultural research centres of the world, only after the French National
Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA).
Embrapa’s new web portal, launched in April
2014, has consolidated the Corporation’s national and international leadership in the agricultural sector. The website’s premise is the integration of information systems regarding projects,
publications, and technological solutions in a
single platform to meet the demands of target
audiences such as the scientific community,
rural extension and technical assistance professionals, and farmers. The Corporation’s more
than 83,000 publications freely available for
download on the Agricultural Research Database (Base de Dados da Pesquisa Agropecuária
- BDPA) have become more visible with the
new architecture and the number of downloaded publications rose from 3,806,711 in 2013
to 5,275,268 last year. From May to December
2014, there was a 90% increase in the amount
of pages visualized in the portal as opposed to
the same period in the previous year. All in all,
