LabCerrado

Through the LabCerrado program, VLI and Embrapa are working together to promote innovative technologies for agricultural production in the Brazilian Cerrado. This initiative aims to global food supply while prioritizing economic, environmental, and social sustainability.

Our goal is to create a network of agricultural innovation by combining research, technology, and agrientrepreneurship. Through regenerative agriculture, we aim to promote sustainable development in different regions and help shape the future.

The LabCerrado program focuses on environmentally sustainable technologies, including:

● No-till farming

● Optimized fertilization and soil correction recommendations

● Use of bio-inputs

● Integrated pest and disease management

● Expansion of integrated production systems (crop-livestock integration and crop-livestock-forest integration)

"LabCerrado goes beyond the traditional role of a railway company by offering solutions to the challenges of agricultural production in regions connected to our logistics network. The reach of our infrastructure, combined with our partnership with Embrapa, allows us to engage with multiple regions and stakeholders in agribusiness, making this initiative a true driver of economic and social development."

"By launching LabCerrado, we are breaking conventional barriers and, together with Embrapa, advancing research that benefits multiple regions and players in the agricultural sector. This initiative is a powerful engine for economic, social, and environmental development in Minas Gerais, Tocantins, and Goiás."
