Abstract
This paper analyses the bioregions in Portugal and their relationship with regional development. The bioregions in Portugal represent an important achievement for the production of eco-regions and sustainable values based on organic production. Moreover, the organic regions are considered as a specialised region towards sustainable production, eco-consumer market, natural resources valuation, and welfare. The author finds suggestive evidence that organic regions can positively contribute to a competitive organic market in Portugal. The results of this analysis contribute to the understanding of the dynamics of Portuguese organic regions and their influences on economic and social development.
