This was one of the reasons for deploying here in Macae, the CEPRUS - State Center for Research on Sustainable Rural Development, with the vision of the future is a fundamental model of the radiator center to increase food production without exhausting the resources available - this&nbsp;is to be sustainable, a task that will be all of us. 


Here is headquartered CEPRUS / Pesagro - State Center for Research on Sustainable Rural Development - area of ​​140 ha of PESAGRO-RIO - research firm linked to the State Department of Agriculture where we are deploying several "demonstration units" techniques with this approach:&nbsp;sustainable rural development.

The CEPRUS / Pesagro in Macae, Rio is designed to host RIO RURAL physics program, which will soon have all subprojects in this program installed as demonstration units to attract producers and sensitize them to produce food sustainably.
One work of CEPRUS, already implemented, is the "Forest Restoration Unit" - production of seedlings of native species of the Atlantic, including fruit.

In this unit we are serving many local producers as well as companies who need to carry out reforestation and environmental compensation will still have to extend these facilities to assist the "Olympic Commitment" in Rio de Janeiro that is to plant 24 million trees in 2016 and recover to the springs&nbsp;Olympics.
This unit is one of the most visited of CEPRUS - Research Center for Sustainable Rural Development in Macae (RJ). 


Another important activity is the integration of urban population with the theme of sustainability: it is common to charge farmers the burden of environmental conservation, however we know that the urban and industrial concentration promotes serious damage to our biodiversity.

Thus we have the "Dissemination Unit Sustainable Technology - a telecentre" where we provide access to the entire population by raising awareness of adoption of the principles of sustainability and good economic, social and environmental issues, promoting the interaction between urban and rural areas.

We have to produce food in large quantities and quickly, for 2050're right there, but without losing focus on sustainability, that is, rural production without the properties of natural resources are exhausted.

 Produce is urgent.&nbsp; It is necessary to preserve!&nbsp;
