A memorandum of understanding has been signed between the Vidigueira and Giglio Island municipalities, represented by Councillor Walter Rossi and local mayor Rui Raposo, respectively.
This protocol, drafted with the participation of representatives of Iter Vitis, addresses a wide range of issues, starting from the challenges of climate change and international crises to environmental policies that are transforming agriculture into an increasingly heroic enterprise.
“In the context of a general situation with critical overtones,” the signed document reads, “there is a strong need to identify initiatives that can translate into positive prospects. Agriculture thus assumes a major strategic role in responding to these challenges, thanks to evolving technical solutions, among which the innovations of Agriculture 4.0 stand out. These include the optimization of irrigation through the use of sensors, automation for integrated crop management and protection from weather events and pest attacks, and the implementation of technologies such as blockchain to ensure traceability of production. These advances are bringing significant benefits to the modernization of the agricultural sector, increasing crop yields and productivity and, most importantly, culturally influencing the way we perceive agriculture.”
Hence a series of joint actions between the two realities of Vidigueira and Giglio Island.
