DEMANDAS TECNOLÓGICAS DA SOJA PARA O POLO DE INOVAÇÃO EM BIOENERGIA E GRÃOS DO INSTITUTO FEDERAL GOIANO

Abstract

This work had as objective carry out a survey of the technological demands existing in the soybean culture within the Southwest Goiano to subsidize the projects developed in the Bioenergy and Grain Innovation Center of the Goiano Federal Institute. In order to do so, it was essential to conduct studies on soybean production phases, agricultural demand, government programs, technological innovation, Schumpeter's theory, regulatory aspects, innovation poles, agroindustrial system, prospective analysis and regional development. In order to reach the proposed objective, a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory research was carried out, addressing several aspects of the importance of development poles for regional impruviment culminating with the data report based on the questionare answers of agronomy professionals which may become clients / partners of the Bioenergy and Grain Innovation Center of the Goiano Federal Institute. To increase the research, development and innovation within an agroindustrial region, such as Rio Verde city, it is necessary to unite three important sectors: government, universities (research centers) and producers. Public authorities must assume the responsibility of investing in research with the universities, as well as promoting the development of infrastructure in order to attract new investors to the region. Government policies and programs are important for regional development and are responsible for the promotion of new technologies. After confirming that the majority of the participants in this study are unaware of the performance of the Bioenergy and Grain Innovation Center of the Goiano Federal Institute, it was concluded that it performs its activities in an initial way, seeking partnerships to establish itself in the region, and, in this research, it was clear that the development of research and innovation is required to propitiate the sustainable development of agriculture in southwestern Goiás.
