In many cases, the contract may include clauses aimed at preserving natural resources such as soil, water and biodiversity, encouraging sustainable agricultural practices. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since 2019, Portugal has been promoting initiatives to integrate environmental conservation practices into rural leases, as part of the National Strategy for Nature Conservation and Biodiversity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><b>  Rural loan agreement<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similar to leasing, rural lending allows the free use of land for a certain period. Although it is not a contract specifically focused on environmental issues, it is increasingly common to include conditions that promote sustainable management practices, particularly in areas of environmental interest, such as mountain areas or nature reserves. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Art. 1129 et seq. of the Civil Code <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Comodato is the free contract whereby one of the parties gives the other a certain thing, movable or immovable, so that he can use it, with the obligation to return it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li><b>  Custody of the Territory<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of contract is signed between private entities (usually landowners) and environmental conservation organizations. The aim is to manage and protect the natural values of a specific area in order to promote biodiversity and sustainable land management. In Portugal, the Land Custody Network is the main initiative promoting this type of agreement, in collaboration with environmental NGOs and public bodies.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li><b>  Contracts under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The European Union&#8217;s CAP encourages sustainable agricultural practices through subsidies and financial support, as part of contracts between farmers and the state. These include: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agri-environmental measures<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contracts that promote agricultural practices that benefit the environment, such as conserving natural habitats, reducing the use of pesticides and fertilizers, and crop rotation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payments for Environmental Services<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Farmers can enter into contracts to provide environmental services such as carbon capture, soil conservation and improved water quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"11\">\n<li><b>  Ecological Servitude Contract<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of contract creates legal obligations for the landowner, imposing restrictions on land use and natural resource management. Usually, ecological easements aim to protect ecologically sensitive areas, such as wetlands, protected forest areas or priority habitats. The Portuguese Environment Agency plays an important role in monitoring and regulating these contracts.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"12\">\n<li><b>  Contracts under the National Ecological Reserve (REN)<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The REN establishes environmental protection zones, in which land use is restricted to protect natural resources such as coastal zones, forests and areas of water importance. Any type of contract or development in these areas must follow strict regulations to ensure the conservation of biodiversity and natural resources. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"13\">\n<li><b>  Forest Concession Contract<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These contracts involve the concession of public forest land to private individuals for forest management. Forest management must meet strict environmental criteria, promoting practices such as reforestation, invasive species management and forest fire prevention. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"14\">\n<li><b>  Partnership Contracts for Organic Farming<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These contracts, encouraged by both the Portuguese government and the European Union, establish agreements to promote organic farming, which excludes the use of synthetic chemicals and environmentally harmful practices. These contracts are particularly important in protected areas and on marginal land, promoting biodiversity and sustainability. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"15\">\n<li><b>  Natura 2000 contracts<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natura 2000 is a network of protected areas in the European Union, and in Portugal landowners within these areas can enter into management contracts with the state or conservation entities.
