In order to combat rising unemployment, food shortages in families and the improper occupation of lands beside the town, Sesimbra Municipal Council has created, in Quinta do Conde, 42 plots whose produce is intended for the consumption of local families and NGOs while the surplus will be delivered to food banks. The community garden will be an economic support for subsistence, with investment in training in traditional/organic agriculture, technical monitoring and the conservation of biodiversity and environmental education. It is also intended to create an agricultural cooperative, involving project stakeholders in its management.
