Resumo(s)
Alterações nos sistemas de produção alimentar, com vista ao seu desenvolvimento sus-
tentável, requerem a procura e implementação de novos meios de planeamento e gestão do
setor agrícola, exigindo informações qualitativas e conhecimento, com análises centradas
tanto nos sistemas de produção, como nos recursos naturais e socioeconómicos subjacentes.
O presente estudo incide sobre o potencial da agricultura regenerativa (AR) no desen-
volvimento de comunidades sustentáveis e resilientes, particularmente se aplicada em con-
textos urbano e periurbano, identificando as suas práticas, potenciais benefícios, e alinha-
mento com diversos objetivos de sustentabilidade globais, europeus e nacionais.
A Horta da Quinta do Pisão (HQP), resultante da estratégia de desenvolvimento da agri-
cultura no concelho de Cascais, é uma exploração agrícola comercial municipal periurbana,
inserida no Parque Natural de Sintra-Cascais, que se caracteriza pelas práticas de agricultura
biológica. Em 2021, iniciou-se a reestruturação do modelo de gestão da HQP, no sentido de
otimizar a produção, implementando práticas de AR.
Esta investigação permitiu fundamentar a transição da HQP para práticas regenerativas.
Tomou-se a HQP como caso de estudo e realizou-se uma avaliação da sustentabilidade
agrícola e ambiental da horta, procurando registar as práticas vigentes, através de um diag-
nóstico rápido.
Os resultados da avaliação, em conjunto com a revisão da literatura, permitiram identi-
ficar os benefícios ambientais da AR no contexto da HQP, revelando a vantagem não só desta
tipologia de uso, como da abordagem empregue, para o município de Cascais, servindo como
exemplo para outros territórios que procurem satisfazer os ODS ligados à ação climática, edu-
cação, segurança alimentar, entre outros.
Changes to food production systems require the search for and implementation of new means of planning and management of the agricultural sector towards its sustainable devel- opment, requiring qualitative information and knowledge, with analyses focusing on the nat- ural and socio-economic resources, in addition to the production systems. This study focuses on the potential of regenerative agriculture (RA) in the development of sustainable and resilient communities, particularly If applied to urban and periurban con- texts, identifying its practices, benefits, and alignment with global, European and national sus- tainability objectives. Horta da Quinta do Pisão (HQP) is a periurban municipal commercial farm that results from the agricultural development strategy in the municipality of Cascais. It’s located in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, and is characterised by organic farming practices. In 2021, the restructuring of HQP’s management model was initiated, in order to optimise production, im- plementing RA practices. This investigation allowed the substantiation of HQP's transition to regenerative prac- tices. Thus, HQP was taken as a case study and an assessment of the agricultural and environ- mental sustainability of the farm was carried out, seeking to register the current practices be- ing applied, through a rapid analysis. The results of the assessment, together with the literature review, provided an overview of the environmental benefits of RA in the context of HQP, showing the advantage not only of this type of land use, but also of the approach used, for the municipality of Cascais, serving as an example for other territories seeking to fulfil the SDGs linked to climate action, education, food security, and others.
