History, projects and research
History
Palmares Farm was acquired in 2008 and underwent a process of building restructuring to conform to the standards of SLC Agrícola. The nearest city that maintains logistical support for the Unit is the city of Luís Eduardo Magalhães (BA).
Social projects
In 2017, Palmares Farm inaugurated its Digital Inclusion Space. The objective of this initiative is to democratize access to technology and distance education, taking collaborators into the digital and knowledge age, with the purpose of providing everyone with access to information and communication technologies (ICTs). Farm volunteers also cultivate a vegetable garden that generates income for APAE, supporting 200 students.
Research
Palmares Farm has an area of approximately 136 ha for field tests where the behavior and response of agricultural crops to different crop treatments, nutrition management, pest, disease and weed control are assessed, as well as the continuous assessment in the appearance of new cultivars, varieties, hybrids and biotechnologies available on the market. The most tested crops are soy, corn, cotton and brachiaria.
