-The project aligns with the global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) agenda by promoting sustainable practices in dairy farming and helping to reduce the sector's impact on climate change.
What are the broader implications of the 'Despertar Regenerativo' project for the dairy industry in Brazil?
-The project has the potential to transform the dairy industry in Brazil by encouraging the adoption of sustainable practices, reducing the carbon footprint, and contributing to the country's commitment to environmental sustainability.
How does the 'Despertar Regenerativo' project address the issue of climate change?
-By providing tools to calculate and reduce the carbon footprint of dairy farms, the project directly addresses the issue of climate change by helping to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from the dairy sector.

🌱 Introduction to the 'Awakening Regenerative' Project
The script introduces the 'Awakening Regenerative' project, a unique initiative in Brazil aimed at promoting sustainable practices in dairy farming. The project, spearheaded by a team from Minas Gerais, including veterinarians, focuses on creating a community for information exchange and diagnostics in the dairy industry. It offers tools for sustainability calculations and diagnostics, adapted to the national reality, and is easy to use, building on the team's experience with dairy farming software development.
📊 Carbon Footprint Calculation in Dairy Farming
The script discusses the project's work on calculating the carbon footprint of dairy farms, which is an essential first step before engaging in carbon market activities. The primary goal is to understand the carbon emissions produced by a farm in relation to milk production, measured in kilograms of CO2 equivalent per kilogram of milk, corrected for fat and protein. This involves analyzing various emissions sources, including enteric methane from animals, manure emissions, feed and input-associated emissions, electricity use, and diesel consumption in farm machinery. By calculating the total emissions, the project helps producers and consultants identify opportunities for reducing the carbon footprint and improving efficiency and profitability.

Olá começa agora mais uma edição do Tech
startups o nosso programa voltado para
tecnologia e inovação no agronegócio
vamos conhecer o projeto despertar
regenerativo que promove práticas
sustentáveis na pecuária e identifica
pontos de melhoria e compromisso com a
agenda esg para esse bate-papo recebemos
Bruna silper que é cofundadora da esg
peec e phd em ciência animal Bruna seja
muito bem-vinda obrigada pela sua
participação Olá Bruno obrigada pelo
convite Bruna como o que que é esse
projeto despertar regenerativo e como é
que ele
funciona sim então o projeto espertar
regenerativo é uma uma iniciativa aí de
uma equipe de de mineiros que se
juntaram aí uma grande parte de nós
veterinários e a ideia desse projeto é
criar uma comunidade para troca de
informação e diagnósticos na pecuária
leiteira muito voltado paraa questão da
sustentabilidade então é uma iniciativa
única no Brasil né a gente traz
ferramentas para cálculos e diagnósticos
da sustentabilidade na pecuária leiteira
né E todos esses recursos adaptados
paraa realidade nacional e ferramentas
muito fáceis de usar que vem aí de uma
história de parte do nosso time já com
desenvolvimento de software para
pecuária leiteira e dentro desse projeto
vocês trabalham a questão da da do
mercado de carbono né como é que
funciona isso o que a gente trabalha na
verdade é o cálculo da pegada de carbono
né então seria aí um primeiro passo né
antes da gente ir para mercado de
carbono para o balanço de carbono essa
primeira etapa o mais importante é a
gente conhecer Qual é a pegada de
carbono daquela fazenda né quanto e
quanto de emissões aquela Fazenda produz
paraa produção do leite então isso tudo
é medido em uma unidade e que a gente
chama né que é conhecida aí como quilos
de CO2 equivalente por quilos de leite
produzido corrigido para gordura e
proteína e o que a o o que essa
ferramenta faz né nesse momento que a
gente tá de cálculo da pegada de carbono
é medir toda a emissão associada àquela
fazenda então toda a emissão de metano
entérico dos animais emissões dos
dejetos a emissão que vem vem aí
associada aos alimentos aos insumos que
a gente traz para dentro da fazenda para
poder produzir as emissões que vêm
associadas à energia elétrica emissões
que vêm associadas ao diesel que é
utilizado né nas máquinas da Fazenda São
aí alguns exemplos a gente faz uma
análise de todas essas emissões e
calcula quanto que foi o total emitido
pela né aí de forma simplificada isso
dividido pela pelo total de leite
produzido naquela propriedade corrigido
para gordura e proteína pra gente ter né
uma informação aí padronizada e que seja
comparável entre as fazendas pra gente
conhecer Qual é a pegada de carbono
daquela fazenda né uma vez conhecida
essa pegada de carbono é que o produtor
os técnicos os Consultores que atuam ali
junto àquela Fazenda podem começar a
atuar para mitigar essa pegada de
carbono né a gente tem aí todo mundo
ouvindo falar aí bastante desde a cop 26
né do pacto do metano dessa necessidade
de redução aí de 30% nas emissões e né E
toda questão do aquecimento global entre
vários outros pontos né de de eventos
climáticos extremos que nós temos visto
aqui no Brasil também que a gente
precisa né Acho que todos nós como
pessoas mas nós também como como setor
da da pecuária leiteira atuar no que a
gente puder para reduzir essa pegada de
carbono Então o que a ferramenta permite
é exatamente o produtor conhecer a sua
pegada né saber onde estão os pontos eh
que existe maior oportunidade de
mitigação para que ele possa atuar nisso
e reduzir a pegada de carbono daquela
produção e um ponto muito importante
nisso aí que o o mercado ainda o mercado
eu digo né os os Consultores os técnicos
O que que a gente tem visto que a
maioria das das práticas das atuações na
fazenda que levam a uma menor pegada de
carbono também levam a um aumento de
eficiência um aumento de rentabilidade
daquela produção então é um ganha ganha
que que é muito interessante aí para
para todas as partes
