AGROSCHOOLBUS.BIO - Optimising the collection and management of olive pruning residues
Description
recovery of the nutrients contained in the residues (branches, leaves) of olive trees (and other productive trees) through composting
Sector
A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities
Needs/ Problem statement
Sustainable management of the residues (branches and leaves), pruning of the olive tree (and other productive trees).
Objective
Collection and transport of the olive tree branches from multiple plots so that they can be managed easily, quickly and in an economically viable way, and end up in composting so that it is possible to recover the nutrients contained in the plant residues, but also to avoid the release of CO2 (and other gases) into the atmosphere.
