Anais do I Seminário Regional de Ciências Agrárias e Sustentabilidade

Abstract

On September 10, 11, and 12, 2024, the I Regional Seminar on Agrarian Sciences and Sustainability (I SERCAS) took place. The event was designed and organized by the PET Agronomy/Forest Engineering group with the goal of fostering integration between students from the Agronomy and Forest Engineering undergraduate programs at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), Chapadão do Sul Campus, and the external community. The seminar addressed a key issue in modern agriculture: the sustainability of the agricultural and forestry sectors. Over the course of three days, the program featured a variety of activities, including discussion panels, lectures, poster presentations, and workshops, in addition to the publication of the event's proceedings with scientific abstracts. The I SERCAS provided an excellent opportunity for professional development and updating, complementing the content of the involved courses, promoting integration between the academic and external communities, and supporting the popularization of sustainable science and technologies. The seminar also created a space for dialogue and collaboration among students, faculty, speakers, and other participants, while allowing faculty, staff, and students—both from within and outside UFMS—to present research results and extension actions to the academic community and the general public. The works submitted to the event were evaluated by a technical-scientific committee, and those that received favorable reviews are included in this publication.
