Discover how two Portuguese farmers are transforming agriculture in the face of water scarcity

Water scarcity is a pressing issue for many Europeans, impacting everything from daily use to agricultural production. 

Droughts wreak havoc on our fields, threatening food production. 

But how do European Farmers confront climate change and extreme weather? 

Farmer Bruno Pateiro and agronomist Rui Flores share their strategies and needs to cope with this situation in the Alentejo region. 

Join MEP Lídia Pereira as she observes farmers' efforts on-site to enhance water efficiency and the crucial role of the ‘Alqueva’ dam in securing a better future for rural communities. 

The EPP Group's position is clear: We must support European Farmers in using water more sustainably. 

We consider new investments in water infrastructure and climate adaptation technologies essential for the future of the farming sector in Member States more vulnerable to the effects of water scarcity and drought.
