On September 29th, the seminar “Las cubiertas vegetales en el olivar como instrumento de la nueva PAC” (“Vegetable roofs in olive groves as an instrument of the new CAP”) – organized by the Agrupación de Sanidad Vegetal “Centro de España”, the Wageningen University and the governments of Holland and Castilla La Mancha – was held at the Centro de Interpretación del Olivar (Toledo).
The aim of the seminar was discovering the benefits of using cover crops, their management and how to assess its long-term effects. BioGrowth Development collaborated by giving a talk on vegetable covers as a carbon sink method and opportunities derived from the sale of carbon credits (“Cubiertas vegetales como sumidero de carbono y oportunidades derivadas de la venta de derechos”), where Kristiaan Tetteroo analyzed the potential of olive groves as a tool to fix carbon in the soil and its relationship with carbon credits.
Learn more about the topic in the following slides, where you’ll find the most relevant information of the talk:
