It is the new European project Compolive, coordinated by Andaltec, conceived for new biomaterials to be developed, which will be more sustainable and programmed for many industrial applications

CO₂: consumers are more and more aware of environmentally-friendly produce. For every litre of olive oil produced, 10.65kg of CO2 is extracted from the atmosphere. The International Olive Council has developed an algorithm to calculate the carbon footprint of olive oil. The IOC has created this important tool with the help of experts in the field from all over the world

A far-reaching and promising future. There are currently some 3 300 operators in the vari- ous branches.  Olive oil continues to dominate the market, for which Tunisia was the first global exporter of organic olive oil in 2015.

The International Olive Council participated in the 22nd session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP22), which was held in Marrakech (Morocco) from 7 to 18 November 2016, and whereby the UN sought to adopt a framework for action against global warming

The interaction between agriculture and environment is particularly complex when coping with the maintenance of genetic biodiversity. The collection, defense and sustainable use of phytogenetic resources are essential factors to face climate changes and food insecurity. Agricultural biodiversity encourages crop and, consequently, diet diversification
