Integrated waste recovery for a sustainable olive sector

Description

Use of olive trees residues to produce compost

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

The reuse and recovery of olive by-products are essential to reduce environmental pollution and contribute to increasing the efficiency of the agricultural and industrial sectors involved and reduce their production costs.

Objective

Use of pond effluents (sludge) and olive residues for the production of agricultural fertiliser of differentiated quality through the transfer of knowledge generated at the UGR and the CSIC.
