The Minister of Agriculture and Sea, José Manuel Fernandes, considered InovMilho, in Coruche, a "very important" project for the Portuguese agricultural sector. His statements were made to Notícias do Sorraia, on the sidelines of an event whose name was cut off in the article.
Fernandes highlighted that InovMilho plays a fundamental role in finding solutions to increase the productivity of agricultural holdings in Portugal. The minister recognized the importance of investing in research and development in the primary sector.
The government official emphasized the need to respond to the challenges posed by climate change, which directly affect agriculture. These challenges include water scarcity, pests and diseases that threaten crops and the viability of agricultural holdings.
InovMilho thus appears as an initiative that aims to provide the agricultural sector with tools and knowledge to face these problems, contributing to a more resilient and productive agriculture in Portugal.
