Promoted by Banco BPI and Medialivre, with the patronage of the Ministry of Agriculture and Sea and the support of PwC, the National Agriculture Award aims to recognise and showcase the best practices in Portugal’s agricultural sector.

In this 14th edition, sustainability and innovation remain core pillars, highlighting the importance of agricultural production that balances environmental preservation with profitability, as well as the role of technological innovation in addressing current challenges.
