- Avaliação ambiental estratégica do programa de desenvolvimento rural de Portugal 2007-2013: ContinentePublication . Domingos, Tiago; Rosas, Cátia; Teixeira, Ricardo Miguel Sampaio; Aguiar, Carlos; Calouro, Fátima; Borges, José C.; Belo, C. Carmona; Domingos, José J.D.; Ferreira, Teresa; Freitas, Helena; Magalhães, Manuela Raposo; Ribeiro, Luis; Malcata, Francisco X.O Programa de Desenvolvimento Rural (PDR) 2007-2013 estabelece o conjunto de medidas, e dentro de cada uma destas as acções e subacções, conducentes ao cumprimento dos objectivos estabelecidos pelo Plano Estratégico Nacional (PEN) de Desenvolvimento Rural 2007-2013. O PEN surge num momento em que a situação do mundo rural português tem apresentado melhorias em termos de bem-estar social, mas ainda assim com perda de competitividade económica local e nacional e de forma assimétrica em termos territoriais. Isto é particularmente verdade para os sectores agrícola, florestal e agro-industrial, que porém falharam o objectivo essencial de criação de riqueza, sendo que os resultados mais visíveis foram a estagnação da produção e o aumento do deficit da balança alimentar. É então dentro das actividades agro-florestais que o PEN elege o seu raio preferencial de acção, dada a sua importância ao nível económico, ambiental e social. Assim, o factor determinante das políticas do próximo período deve ser o aumento da competitividade de empresas e territórios agrícolas, numa lógica de desenvolvimento sustentável. Para atingir este objectivo, é essencial que exista um forte envolvimento de todos os agentes e partes interessadas, o que requer uma aposta adicional na qualificação dos envolvidos
- Quinta da FrançaPublication . Domingos, Tiago; Valada, Tatiana; Teixeira, Ricardo Miguel Sampaio; Rodrigues, Oriana; Rodrigues, Nuno; Aguiar, Carlos; Belo, C. CarmonaQuinta da França (QF) is a farm located in Cova da Beira, Covilhã, which is managed by Terraprima. The farm’s main activities are agriculture and livestock production. Among the fodder crops, the most important are temporary and permanent pastures and annual crops (such as maize, both irrigated and rainfed). Livestock consists of sheep, cows and goats (the latter in smaller numbers). The management of QF privileges sown seeks to optimize the environmental services of agricultural activities through the use of biodiverse pastures and no-tillage, and to obtain payment for those services. Regarding forest occupation, the oak-Negral is dominant, but there is a non-neglectable area of pine, and some small plots of eucalyptus marble and/or acacia. The main promoters of change in QF are: investment and participation in R&D projects; payment for environmental services; land use changes, biotic and abiotic threats and public support. Some R&D projects were particularly important in the management of QF. theProject Agro 87) plaid a pivotal role in the implantation of a significant area of biodiverse pastures in QF. Project Landstate was the source of the trademarked Terraprima products. Project Extensity contributed to the improvement and monitoring of the environmental performance of QF. QF, through Terraprima, was also a pioneer in the payment for environmental services. Terraprima signed with EDP (the Portuguese electrical company) the first contract in Portugal for carbon sequestration resulting from agro-forestry activities. Main promoters of land use change in QF are the construction of the irrigation perimeter of Cova da Beira, and the consequent intensification of agricultural and livestock activities. The main abiotic and biotic threats identified are the occurrence of fires and the incidence of the brucellosis disease. In terms of public support, agri-environmental payments are particularly important. The main themes for conditions and trends identified in the QF are biodiversity, food production, carbon sequestration / soil protection / regulation of water cycle and the supply of scientific information. In terms of biodiversity, and with respect to vertebrates, species with confirmed occurrence in QF are 72% of all species in the region. Main food products in QF are beef, lamb and calf meat, sheep milk, and grain silage maize. Carbon sequestration, soil protection and water cycle regulation are all achieved together by planting new forests, introducing sustainable
