vcanhoto··on Supply chain resilience is a requirement for agritech hardware
Land prices in Portugal (away from the coast and from bigger cities) are pretty cheap for western European standards. It's getting noticed though - a quick YouTube search will show you plenty of examples of expats jumping on the opportunity.

IMO making a profit would be the hard part - the internal market is small and in general produce prices are low.

The Dutch would disagree with you pretty much with every single point. Except the last one, maybe.

vcanhoto··on What if carbon removal becomes the new Big Oil?
This actually happens in Portugal. When filling your taxes you can select a non-profit to receive a cut (don't remember how much though). Family and most friends live there, and never have I heard about this changing in any way how they feel about taxes.

Could you give an example? I understand if you don't want to though.
