Young farmers' group calls for modernising Portugal's irrigation networks

A representative of young farmers says irrigation is central to almost every young farmer's investment plans, linking it to productivity, competitiveness and quality. The 'Água Que Une' initiative proposes not only expanding irrigated areas but also recovering and modernising existing infrastructure, including upgrading dams and repairing pipes and conduits. The statements were made in the 'Voz do Campo' programme, highlighting ongoing calls within the farming sector for investment in water management systems.
