Objectives 

• Reduce the consumption of natural resources, with superior savings of over 90% in water usage. e reduction of up to 99% of arable land necessary in comparison to conventional production.

• Reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. associated with the production of bulk feed, with Estimated impact of 12.4 kg of CO₂eq avoided per kilogram of FVH produced..

• Eliminate the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and other chemical inputs.

• To promote diversification of animal feed sources and to increase productive resilience in the face of extreme weather conditions.

• Strengthen family farming and expand the productive inclusion of small producers, generating income and local jobs.

• To promote reduction or optimization of energy consumption of operations and generate new sustainable alternatives for the livestock sector.

Results

• Productivity: until 15 kg/m² per cycle and the ability to feed 60 cattle for finishing or 80 for fattening per module (Bio1200 model).

• Water conservation: greater than 90%, with 95% recirculation of the resource used.

• Continuous production: o PAD-DF Production Hub reaches 10 tons of FVH per day, with average cost of R$ 0.55/kg.

• Environmental efficiency: Disposal of agricultural and solid waste typical of conventional production; 100% of the biomass produced is utilized in animal feed.

• Water management: In the PAD-DF program, the estimated savings are... 150,000 liters of water per day, equivalent to 54.7 million liters per year.

• Scope: technology in continuous operation since 2022, expanding to different regions of Brazil.

• Institutional support: partnership with Sebrae-DF through the program ALI Rural, which contributed to the technological validation and consolidation of the business model.
