Our estimate of the potential income for the entire DOP Estepa (Sevilla, Spain) has been published, in the event of implementing a carbon farming project based on more sustainable management practices. These practices would increase the capacity of the olive groves to capture atmospheric CO₂, resulting in a greater contribution to climate change mitigation. Link (Spanish).
At the beginning of June, the DOP Estepa presented the “Good Practices Manual for Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Olive Groves”, developed by our colleague José Liétor. This tool, which was very well received by farmers, has become a key reference document for clarifying concepts that are often confused, such as sequestration, balance, footprint, and carbon credits.

A golden finale for the C-OLIVAR project at the 30th Olive Grove Conference of ASAJA Sevilla. The assembly hall of Oleoestepa SCA. was filled to capacity to hear first-hand the results of the C-OLIVAR project — an initiative that has shown that olive groves not only produce oil of the highest quality but can also become a key tool in the fight against climate change and a source of future profitability for farmers. Our coordinator, Roberto García, captured the audience’s attention by presenting the valuable results obtained from the CO₂ credit certification simulations carried out during the project.
This year, the AgroecoliveLab team has been especially active at the Scientific Symposium of the Expoliva 2025 Fair, with several contributions in both oral and poster formats:
In addition, our coordinator, Roberto García, participated in one of the fair’s main events as a speaker on the panel “Keys to the environmental sustainability of olive-growing systems.”
