Description
The techniques employed will improve the efficiency and quality of oil production, reuse oil mill byproducts, and promote the sector's circular bioeconomy through cutting-edge precision irrigation techniques.
Objectives
- Develop an innovative process based on the circular economy that allows for a substantial improvement in sustainable practices and the competitiveness of olive oil mills.
- Promote and universalize the modernization of irrigation systems, increasing the productivity of olive crops and encouraging the use of byproducts instead of synthetic fertilizers, thus increasing resource efficiency.
- Transferring tools and knowledge to the sector through demonstration plots, promoting the universalization of this innovative solution that sustainably increases crop yields
Results
- Efficient valorization of the liquid byproduct of olive oil production and its nutritional content from olive washing, promoting a reduction in the use of synthetic fertilizers. Increased water availability for irrigation. Maintaining system performance by maximizing its autonomy. Transforming a waste product into a valuable resource, eliminating its management and associated costs. Positive impact on consumer perception of the final product, leading to increased profitability.
- Favorable changes in root system morphology. Improved water distribution pattern, increased usable soil volume, and a 4% increase in fruit fat yield in a more economical and sustainable manner. Using subsurface drip irrigation (SDI).
- Definition of action proposals for the end user to continue developing new business models related to the circular economy. Publications on social media and technical media, and delivery of training workshops and technical seminars disseminating the project's results.
