Summary
The Portuguese Rural Network’s magazine is a “window” to the rural world in Portugal and in Europe, bringing to the reader valuable information about rural development policies and opinions and about a number of countrywide initiatives in the field. The magazine offers interviews and different perspectives from pertinent rural development actors, organizations and/or specialists.
