On 10 May, a seminar was held in Cogollos de la Vega, showing how by applying appropriate practices, olive growing is a significant source of CO2 sequestration.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The association ‘The garden of Peace’, in collaboration with the municipality of Cogollos de la Vega (Granada – Spain) organised a seminar on 10 May at the Emilio Mu\u00f1os Agricultural Institute, entitled \u00ab\u00a0The olive tree and CO2, olive growing as part of the solution to climate change\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong>. Internationally renowned experts took part, who showed how olive-growing through the application of appropriate practices is really part of the solution to climate change, sequestering and storing more carbon in the soil and biomass (the vegetative parts) than is emitted to produce one litre of virgin and extra virgin olive oil, with a positive balance of 10 to 1 (1.5 kg of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere to produce one litre of olive oil and 11.5 kg sequestered). The Delegate of the Environment and the Delegate of Agriculture from Granada were present.<\/p>\r\n\r\n \u00a0<\/p>\r\n \u00a0<\/p>\r\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb row_type=\u00a0\u00bbrow\u00a0\u00bb use_row_as_full_screen_section=\u00a0\u00bbno\u00a0\u00bb type=\u00a0\u00bbfull_width\u00a0\u00bb angled_section=\u00a0\u00bbno\u00a0\u00bb text_align=\u00a0\u00bbleft\u00a0\u00bb background_image_as_pattern=\u00a0\u00bbwithout_pattern\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column][vc_gallery type=\u00a0\u00bbimage_grid\u00a0\u00bb images=\u00a0\u00bb19,15″ column_number=\u00a0\u00bb5″ grayscale=\u00a0\u00bbno\u00a0\u00bb images_space=\u00a0\u00bbgallery_with_space\u00a0\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On 10 May, a seminar was held in Cogollos de la Vega, showing how by applying appropriate practices, olive growing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":11,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-seminars"],"yoast_head":"\n
