- The integration of immigrant women farmers in Portugal: Reconnecting with nature through agriculturePublication . Delplancq, Véronique; Costa, Cristina Amaro da; Araújo, Pedro; Costa Lopes, Ana Maria; Fidalgo, Susana; Figueiredo, Diogo; Pereira, José Manuel de Almeida; European Journal of Sustainable Development ResearchMigrants play a vital role in revitalizing rural regions, contributing to demographic renewal, economic diversification, and cultural enrichment. Their involvement is particularly significant in sectors such as agriculture, where labour shortages and aging populations pose ongoing challenges. By bringing new skills, perspectives, and initiatives, migrants help sustain local economies and foster innovation. This study explores the experiences of five foreign women who have relocated to the Centre of Portugal, establishing new lives centred on agriculture and aims to understand the motivations behind migration, lifestyles, and the dynamics of integration. Through in-depth interviews and photographic and video documentation, the study highlights the women’s pursuit of a more sustainable, nature-connected existence, emphasizes the significance of the welcoming process and underlines the role of agriculture as a pathway to improved quality of life and social integration. It was clear that the integration process requires social inclusion, access to services, cultural exchange, and community engagement. Keywords: foreign women farmers, region of Viseu, integration, sustainability, eco-friendly
