She described the work processes a little and highlighted the work of the journalist responsible for the publication, Mariana Aranha. Pastore writes the magazine's editorial, which has an edition dedicated to improving quality of life.
The general coordinator of Unicamp, professor Alvaro Crósta, stated at the ceremony that the magazine has the important role of disseminating science, which is extremely important for the population. Rector José Tadeu Jorge reiterated: “this is a promotional magazine for the public who deserve to know more about what we do at the University”.

Tadeu Jorge also commented that the publication seeks to show the scope of issues that Unicamp works on. He highlighted everything from the first report, about circus practice in the school curriculum, to an article about reducing salt in sausages, in addition to the tribute to professor Sonia Bergamasco, being the first woman portrayed in the section that provides a profile of researchers and teachers from Unicamp.
Tribute and denunciation
The launch of the magazine also included a tribute to the Feagri teacher. A student read a poem, dedicated to the teacher, who was also given a bouquet of flowers. Bergamasco thanked the honor but highlighted that researchers in the area are apprehensive and denouncing resource cuts for the Agricultural Census scheduled to take place this year.
According to the professor, with the cuts the federal government excluded family farming from the research, meaning it will no longer collect data on family farming. “What is being denounced by researchers in this area is that the cut fell directly on top of questions about family farming. This will prevent future researchers from carrying out their research, it will prevent us from making comparisons with what existed previously”. The teacher stated that 70% of food products from the countryside in Brazil come from family farming.
