The Estepa PDO holds three seminars on how to reduce the carbon footprint in olive groves

Between June 3rd and 5th, our colleague José Liétor led a series of three participatory workshops on CO₂ credit certification mechanisms in the voluntary olive grove market, as part of the C-Olivar Project. The sessions were held at various cooperatives within the Estepa PDO, covering the Spanish municipalities of Puente Genil (Córdoba) and Estepa (Seville). In total, around 100 farmers learned first-hand about the growing carbon credit market applicable to the olive oil sector, as well as the management practices that can help them access this promising incentive. The workshop series received significant media coverage, including a radio interview on Cadena Ser.
