José Liétor, member of Agroecolivelab, takes part in the 3rd Olive Growing Forum of COPE Jaén

On September 30, our colleague José Liétor participated in the 3rd Olive Growing Forum organized by COPE Jaén, held at the former Teacher Training School of the University of Jaén.

This year’s edition focused on the crucial role that the agroecological transition plays in the socioeconomic future of olive cultivation, highlighting its importance both from an environmental and a productive perspective.

José took part in the roundtable discussion entitled “The Olive Grove as a Carbon Sink: Climate Challenges and Opportunities”, alongside experts from COAG, Caja Rural, and the Provincial Council of Jaén.

The debate addressed the challenges and opportunities that olive groves present as a tool for mitigating climate change, as well as their strategic role in ensuring the sustainability and competitiveness of the olive oil sector.
