Portugal’s traditional agriculture has deep roots in its rich history and diverse landscapes. Historically, agriculture in Portugal has been characterized by small family farms, with a focus on traditional crops such as grains, olives, grapes, and cork.

However, in recent years, Portugal has been making strides towards incorporating green technology to enhance sustainability in agriculture. This progressive move is driven by a growing awareness of the importance of environmental conservation and the need to mitigate the effects of climate change.

One area where Portugal has made significant progress is in the adoption of precision agriculture techniques. Precision agriculture utilizes technology such as GPS, drones, and sensors to optimize farming practices, leading to increased efficiency and reduced environmental impact. By precisely monitoring factors like soil moisture, nutrient levels, and crop health, farmers can make informed decisions to minimize resource use and maximize yields.
