Coruche places science and technology at the service of the future of agriculture

Correio do Ribatejo13 September 2026 at 16:32

The InovMilho Field Day took place at the António Teixeira Experimental Station, bringing together researchers, farmers, companies and political leaders in an initiative aimed at placing science and technology at the service of the future of agriculture.

The event featured government representatives, who took the opportunity to announce a significant increase in support for farmers in Coruche. According to the data revealed, this support went from 6.3 million euros in 2023 to 19.4 million euros in 2025.

Also within the scope of the announced measures, the government revealed it is preparing a pilot project aimed at reducing wild boar populations in the most affected areas, a concern that particularly affects farmers in the region.

The initiative promoted the meeting between different sectors linked to agricultural activity, allowing the exchange of knowledge between the scientific community, the productive sector and political decision-makers.

Why this matters

Farmers in Coruche directly benefit from the significant increase in state support, going from 6.3 to 19.4 million euros in a two-year period. The event demonstrates how scientific research and technological innovation can help solve concrete problems in local agriculture, including wild boar control. This follow-up on agricultural policies and research investments directly affects the productivity and economic sustainability of farmers in the region.
