Concerns Over New Soil Law
Since its publication between Christmas and New Year's, the new decree-law altering the Soil Law has faced criticism from various voices in land use planning. Alberto Manuel Miranda, president of the Portuguese Association of Urban Planners, is worried that the changes won't lower housing land costs and may negatively impact agricultural land use.
This law touches on significant issues regarding the balance between urban development and agricultural viability, raising fears that rural land could become prohibitively expensive for farmers, thereby threatening local food production and sustainability.
