About this talk:
Ana Linhares investigates the development of rural communities in Portugal. She is one the founders of the NGO "Novos Povoadores" to help resettle the interior or Portugal, a vast land that only accounts to less than 10% of Portugal's population. Only when we understand that rural life of today can give us better quality of life can we move from unsustainable living modes, and leave traffic jams, and pollution behind.
