Résumé du projet
Located in Puglia, these plots were made up of olive trees decimated by the Xylella fastidiosa bacterium. This large-scale phenomenon had a profound impact on the European olive industry, which found itself with an unprecedented shortage of raw material. The economic impact, particularly on the local workforce, has been considerable. This restoration project aims to introduce several varieties of resistant olive trees as well as hedges in order to develop a resilient agroecosystem. The introduction of trees will help limit erosion, better manage water resources and encourage biodiversity and the development of ecological corridors.
