The Program works together with FUNDAÇÃO CHAPADÃO at the annual agricultural fair TECNOAGRO, giving lectures and disseminating research results to farmers.
Furthermore, the Program’s professors developed some extension projects in 2017, 2018 and 2019:
Professor Cassiano Garcia Roque in 2017 coordinated the extension project “3rd Professional Fair”. In this project, students from the local community were able to get to know the courses offered, the opportunities in the job market and the structure of the campus. Through this project, visits were made to schools in the municipality to explain and promote the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, campus of Chapadão do Sul, and the courses offered. To finalize the project, high school students from private and state schools visited the campus, mainly to learn about the laboratories and the environment of a university. Announcement – PAEXT/2017.
Professor Cassiano Garcia Roque in 2017 also participated in the extension project “Soil at school: popularization of knowledge about soil science”. The objective of this project has been to promote education and the popularization of knowledge about Soil Science for the student community of Chapadão do Sul/MS and region. It seeks to work on basic concepts about soil and its components, highlighting its importance to the ecosystem and to the life of the organisms that depend on it. It is a way of working the awareness of soil preservation demonstrating the responsibility that each individual has in this process. The project’s goal is also to work on the soil subject in a simple and didactic way, also reaching teachers and the community in general. On the other hand, the participation of academics from Agronomy and Forest Engineering degrees in the execution of this project has awakened their interest in the community and the degree they study. The actions carried out in 2017 involved students from the 4th and 5th grades from rural and urban schools in Chapadão do Sul and Paraíso das Águas, as well as high school students. The actions in schools are pre-defined and planned by the extension group and on the date of the action a lecture is held, highlighting concepts about soils, their importance and their rational use, followed by practices that involve and promote the interaction of the target audience with students reviewing each concept. The project has been an important tool in the dissemination of soil as a support for biodiversity. The most elaborated and critical knowledge about this natural resource has been observed, leaving the common sense. Moreover, the project allows a closer academic community with the external community, giving visibility to the courses and encouraging the participation and interest of students in the society in which we live. Coordinator: Meire Aparecida Silvestrini Cordeiro. Member: Cassiano Garcia Roque.
Professor Rita de Cássia Félix Alvarez in 2017 coordinated the project “Dissemination of knowledge for planning and execution of activities in rural settlement. This project mobilizes students and professors to extend knowledge and techniques from the University to family farmers in settlements, characterized by poverty, hard work and precarious conditions to carry out their activities. Thus, in addition to bringing knowledge to farmers, this project aims at social action, as a way to insert these people into society, to bring the possibility of a better quality of life. Edital – PAEXT/2017- Coordinator: Rita de Cássia Felix Alvares. Member: Cassiano Garcia Roque.

In 2018, Professor Cid Naudi Silva Campos coordinated the “VI Brazilian Symposium on Plant Nutrition Applied to High Productivity Systems”. The event dealt with the topic of Plant Nutrition, aiming to improve the management of fertilizer of important crops in Brazil and was aimed at Technicians, Farmers, Agronomists and Students. Globalization has determined, and continues to promote, rapid changes in Brazilian agriculture. As a result, it has been selecting farmers who have a better vision of the market and the ability to manage the activity, but mainly those who have the ability to update their production mode and become more competitive. One of the important production factors would be the use of the nutritional status diagnosis of major crops to adequately manage the fertilization of their crops and at the same time minimize biotic and abiotic stresses and optimize nutritional efficiency, allowing high yields to be achieved. This was the objective of the VI Brazilian Symposium on Plant Nutrition Applied to High Yield Systems, with the theme “Advances and challenges for nutrition and fertilization of major crops”, which had 17 lectures with renowned researchers from different regions of Brazil, occurring in April 2018, under the organization of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Câmpus of Chapadão do Sul and the State University Paulista – UNESP, Câmpus of Jaboticabal.
