|---|---|
| Teaser: | Sustainable water management in olive growing in difficult climatic conditions. |
| What problem does the tool address?: | In areas with a Mediterranean climate and a long dry season, water is very limited, even more so in Almeria or the Tabernas desert where the climate is semi-desert. Therefore, good water management - whether irrigation or rainwater harvesting - is essential in a sustainable olive grove. |
| What solution does the tool offer?: | The organic farm "Oro del Desierto" in Spain serves as an example of good practice. Rafael Alonso Aguilera is the director of the organic olive farm "Oro del Desierto" that uses technical innovation and agroecological methods to successfully reduce water consumption in olive production and make it sustainable. Sustainable water use and management, which Naturland standards promote, include preventive measures for soil fertilisation, practical water management measures in water-scarce regions, and inter-agrarian water management. |
