Herdade da Comporta is one of the most green, sustainable and peaceful places in Europe. During the early twentieth century rice was cultivated and there are now more than 1,100 hectares (2,718 acres) of rice paddies which annually produce around 6,500,00 (14,330,000 lbs) of grain.
More than 7,100 (17,544 acres) of forest, filled with pine, juniper and oak trees add more tonality to the land and, to date, 5 million trees have been planted producing millions of cubic meters of pure oxygen. .
