Porcus Natura, Portugal
About the project
Porcus Natura is a 700 hectares regenerative farm close to Montemor-o-Novo in the Alentejo region of Portugal.
Following his father’s footsteps, the landowner is using an innovative pig production system wherein each pig lives in a quarter hectare of nature. This plot includes an extensive regenerative system where goats, sheep, cows, and chickens build productive soil in rotation.
Among the different techniques of regenerative soil management, the owner has also been carrying out plantings to densify and provide more diversity in several areas of the farm.

Species
A mix of 8 different species was planted to provide shade and food for the farm’s happy pigs as well as to regenerate the Montado landscape which will produce cork and bellota.
Life Terra planted the first 1000 trees and shrubs in 2022, and an 8000 more trees in 2023.
