Large, complex, and diverse data sets in continuous streaming (real-time) that cannot be easily processed or managed using traditional methods.

A type of fuel of “biological origin”, that is, derived from biomass, such as plants, vegetable oils, organic waste, or basically any non-mineral raw material. It can be used to generate energy, including fuel for vehicles, electricity and heat. In general, they are a more sustainable alternative to fossil fuels because they are renewable and generate fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

It is energy obtained from “biological sources”, generally obtained from plant biomass, agricultural or forestry waste or even organic waste. It is produced through processes such as combustion, fermentation or chemical conversion and can be used to generate electricity, heat or biofuels.

A thin film formed by natural substances, usually applied to fruits, vegetables, or other foods, to protect against moisture loss, the action of microorganisms, and oxidation. Biofilms act as a physical and biological barrier, extending the shelf life of products and preserving their quality during storage and marketing. They can be composed of materials such as starches, proteins, vegetable waxes, or polysaccharides and are considered a sustainable alternative to conventional plastic packaging.

Biofuel produced from gas generated from the decomposition of organic materials.

These are products derived from biological materials, such as microorganisms, plant extracts, organic substances or minerals, which are used in agriculture to improve soil fertility, promote plant growth, and control pests and diseases in a sustainable way. They are an alternative to traditional chemical inputs, such as pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.

Bioinputs whose production is carried out directly on the rural property for own consumption, exempt from registration according to the new law.

It occupies 49,3% of the Brazilian territory; it corresponds to more than half of the remaining tropical forests in the world; it comprises the greatest biodiversity in tropical forests on the planet as well as the largest hydrographic basin. The largest portion of the biome - 4.196.943 km² - is located in the Brazilian territory, which corresponds to 60% of the total area, Peru holds 13%. Smaller fragments occupy the territories of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana.
