The LIFE IGIC project on Green Infrastructure and its relation to the adaptation of olive orchards to climate change was presented at the CLIMED-FRUIT project conference: “Climate and perennial crops in the Mediterranean – Strategies for the Future”. The conference took place at the CIHEAM agronomic institute in Bari, Italy, on June 11, 2025.
A presentation titled “Green Infrastructure (GI) and Cover Crops Application in Olive Orchards for Biodiversity, Soil Health and Climate Resilience” emphasised the role of Green Infrastructure in both mitigating climate change effects and enhancing the adaptation of olive orchards to climate change. It was highlighted that Green Infrastructure, by conserving biodiversity, enhancing the provision of agroecosystem services and improving landscape connectivity, can support the production of high-quality olive oil with added ecological value.
