Maronesa unites tradition and future in the heart of Alvão.
At the entrance to the Alvão Natural Park, in Vila Real, the 31st National Maronês Competition, held on Saint Anthony’s Day by the Maronês Breeders Association, is much more than a livestock event. It is a vivid portrait of the traditions, challenges, and hopes of a region where the Maronês breed is intertwined with the very identity of the Alto Douro Transmontano territory.

In this episode, Letícia Lopes, Catarina Barata and Marta Albuquerque, Young Reporters for the Environment of the Lisbon School of Health, of the Polytechnic University of Lisbon, are going to talk about something that is present every day in our lives but that we rarely think deeply about: the food on our plate.
Where does it come from? How is it produced? And, most importantly… is the current food system sustainable?
In this episode, they will explore the link between food security and climate change, two of the biggest global challenges today and which are actually deeply intertwined.

A New Life for Waste
Composting takes between three and six months, resulting in a dark brown material with the smell of wet earth. To avoid any problems during composting, we should take precautions such as not adding meat scraps, fish, bones, fish bones, or dairy products; inorganic materials; or diseased plants, plants with seeds, or plant debris treated with chemicals. Composting improves soil structure, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and increases moisture, contributing to greater resilience in the face of climate change.
