EDIA has requested CONSULAI to draw up a project that defines productivity and sustainability indicators and links them together, in order to contribute to greater sustainability of a Region without compromising its agricultural potential. Thus, a sustainability framework (“Sustainable Alqueva”) was developed to allow self-assessment by participating producers and comparison with regional averages and an independent 3rd party certification model.

More efficient use of resources (producing more with less, and above all at lower costs), thereby improving the competitiveness of agricultural holdings. Promoting sustainability by reducing the pressure on the agricultural sector, which will have to feed 9 billion people by 2050 without further straining the use of natural resources (water, energy, soil, etc.). Minimising the impact of climate change on agriculture.
