This paper aims assessing the economic and environmental trade-offs of traditional Mediterranean dry farming systems in the Alentejo region, southern Portugal. An environmental analysis using environmental indicators, such as the nitrogen balance, energy input, greenhouse gas emissions, acidification, eutrophication impacts, as well as an aggregated eco-indicator were developed. For assessing economic returns o...

This paper presents a case study with two traditional Mediterranean-type farming systems: grazing dominant and cropping dominant, of the Alentejo region of Portugal. Farming systems traditional of the Alentejo area and of the Mediterranean region are compared in terms of economic returns, environmental impacts and trade-offs. Methodological aspects for environmental impacts evaluation during cradle-to-gate of a...
A consciencialização da necessidade de desenvolver sistemas agrícolas sustentáveis, de reduzir os impactes ambientais das práticas agrícolas e o compromisso da UE integrar as questões ambientais na política agrícola (PAC) traduziu-se na obrigatoriedade do cumprimento da ecocondicionalidade e na implementação de medidas agro-ambientais nos Estados-Membros. O principal objectivo deste artigo é avaliar ambiental ...
