Presentation

The Graduate Program in Management and Conservation of Soil and Water (PPG-MACSA for its spelling in Portuguese) aims to provide degree-holding professionals with the opportunity to improve their skills to work with higher education teaching and research, enabling them to further technological and scientific knowledge on the management and conservation of soil and water through the conduction of scientific research projects in all of their underlying aspects: planning, design, implementation, analysis and publishing,

In 2011, the Program was given a grade of 4 by CAPES Technical and Scientific Council of Higher Education (CTC-ES), earning the same grade in the last triennial evaluation (2010-2012).

The faculty is comprised of professors from the Soil Science and Rural Engineering departments of the Eliseu Maciel School of Agronomy, as well as professors from UFPel Undergraduate Program in Agricultural Engineering.
