The Smart Vent project from IFPR-Capanema made history by becoming the first project from Paraná to be approved for the Technology Tent at the 42nd Reditec, the Annual Meeting of Leaders of Federal Institutions. This innovative, low-cost automated ventilation system for small poultry farms, developed by students under Professor Edimaldo de Oliveira, stood out among 41 projects from 23 institutions.
André Dengo, a key member, emphasized the project’s impact: “Our goal was to provide a vital resource to small farmers at an affordable cost. Recognition at Reditec validates our hard work and dedication.”
The project reduces energy costs by 30% and is poised for wider implementation in local farms, with the potential to revolutionize small-scale agriculture across Brazil.
