The logo represents the three objects of work of our group: Biology (Bio), Technologies and machinery (Techno) and the various types of Foods (Alimentos).

BTA's initials are bordered by a three-dimensional triangle impossible in reality (Moebius triangle) that symbolizes the challenge of our group so difficult missions that sometimes border on the imposible.
