The Barcelona Metropolitan Area has experienced a loss of over 70% of its agricultural land in recent decades, according to a study by the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology.
This decline poses serious challenges for peri-urban agriculture, which is crucial for local food systems and environmental sustainability.
The findings underscore the need for strategic planning and infrastructure investment to mitigate the impacts of this agricultural loss on regional food security and ecosystem health.
