Sinopse do Episódio "The Return of Trigo Veadeiro: Reviving Tradition in Chapada dos Veadeiros"

This episode explores the revival of trigo veadeiro, a traditional wheat variety uniquely adapted to the Chapada dos Veadeiros region in Goiás, specifically the municipality of Alto Paraíso. Once lost to the spread of commercial wheat varieties, trigo veadeiro has made a remarkable comeback thanks to the efforts of Embrapa, which safeguarded its seeds in germplasm banks. In 2005, Embrapa donated these preserved seeds to Alto Paraíso, enabling the successful reintroduction of this heritage crop and benefiting the local community. We also discuss the opening of a new laboratory by Embrapa in collaboration with Rede Sabin, focused on enhancing food security through the detection of toxic substances in food and agricultural products. Join us as we delve into this inspiring story of agricultural heritage, community resilience, and scientific innovation.
