O verde produtivo na AMP no horizonte 2020

Abstract

Thinking about how the productive green in the Porto metropolitan area will be structured, within a temporal gap that closes on the Horizon 2020, implies not only a diagnosis, but also, and above all, the ability to understand the major changes under way, seeking to distinguish those which are, or appear to be, merely circumstantial, of those which, once installed, have sufficient capacity to be decisive in the short and medium term. Then it is necessary to establish, in accordance, the main objectives to be achieved from the design of public policies, i.e. what are the broad spectrum values to be achieved, in this case the sustainability of production systems, environmental and landscape suitability and the creation of economic value. Once we analyze the constraints, we understand that the agroforestry sistems is perhaps the one that, in the field of productive systems that create economic value, is more influenced by decisions that are foreign to our sovereignty, whether by central or local administration, because the incentives and pricing policies are essentially determined by the CAP. Then, we present a synthesis characterization, analyzing the behavior of the variables that experience has shown to have a greater heuristic power. We finish with a stub and typification of the territorial model expected in the short term, as well as of the main associated production systems. In this sense, four macro territories were defined. They are simultaneously diachronically resistant and synchronously malleable, although to a lesser extent, namely: i- Territories of "prohibition"; ii- the territories of "renaturation"; iii- new soft territories, with dominance of the productive green; iv- territories dominated by the intensive production sectors.
