The SustainGrowth project is an innovative initiative to implement a sustainable intensive production certification system in Portugal, adapted to national soil and climate conditions and aligned with the RCM 97/2021.
Focusing on environmental dimensions, economic and social, the project aims to increase participation in the national market of Portuguese agri-food products, boost the value of exports and attract Foreign Direct Investment (IDE) for the agri-food value chain.
Among the main activities are the creation of the reference for certification, the development of the SustainGrowth Platform and the analysis of crop performance, supported by a broad dissemination and communication strategy.
EDIA is one of the 15 partners of this project, led by INIAV – National Institute of Agricultural and Veterinary Research, I.P., that integrates, in addition to national public entities, producer organizations, farmer associations and companies.
Presentation of the SustainGrowth project – National production certification system towards sustainable intensification of agriculture, It is scheduled for the next day 07 November, 10:00 am, in the auditorium edia, in Beja
