Presentation
Located in Bandeirantes, a city in the northern Paraná state, the Graduate Program in Sustainable Agriculture and Livestock Production (PGPAS) at the State University of the Northern Parana (UENP) was created in 2012 to address the high demand for qualified research projects which could help to improve the local agriculture and livestock production performance, as well as, and provide high-quality professional training for work in the areas of teaching, research and extension, qualified for the new agricultural model, which aims to increase productivity with a focus on the environmental sustainability of the production system.
The PGPAS mission follows the UENP’s agriculture area mission, which is underpinned by the preparation of qualified professionals to generate and spread knowledge and technology and foster sustainable agriculture and livestock production development. With the understanding that agricultural and livestock activities, constantly evolving, are pillars of economic growth and social development and must ensure that their processes lead societies to achieve prosperity and food security while taking care of health standards and environmental sustainability.
PGPAS—UENP's area of concentration is “Systems for Sustainable Agricultural and Livestock Production”, and two lines of research are “Sustainable Agricultural and Livestock Production” and “Plant Health.” These are included in this “new” concept of the agricultural sector, focusing on the development of projects that explore the productive potential based on sustainability.
