LIFE OLEA REGENERA project final conference
The LIFE OLEA REGENERA project is coming to an end after 5 years of intense work by all the members of the consortium. But it has not been in vain, the OLEA REGENERA project has obtained promising results, which have far exceeded those expected at the beginning.
In order to inform interested sectors about these excellent results, last Tuesday, November 29, 2022, the team that forms the LIFE OLEA REGENERA project moved to the hotel HO Ciudad de Jaén. There, Dr. Yolanda Risueño, I+D+i technician at Fyneco (project coordinator), was in charge of welcoming the event and presenting, together with Dr. Teresa Maestre, researcher in the Plant Nutrition Group at CEBAS-CISC, the main results on the validation of the new agricultural inputs. On the other hand, Mar López, technical director at Orujo Frio, presented technical information on the machinery designed for processing alperujo, and the application of the by-products obtained in animal feed. The event ended with a presentation on the reproduction of this process in Portugal, by Alberto González, Administrator of OLIVAIS DO SUL.
During the day we had the pleasure of having the participation of Juan Vilar, strategic consultant and international expert in the olive sector, who gave an interesting talk on the valorization of olive pomace as an additional sustainable and profitable business line, which opened an interesting debate on the current situation of the olive industry.
This debate continued at the round table, moderated by the administrator of Fyneco, Elvira López, and formed by Antonio Lorite (Manager of Hacienda Vadolivo), Fernando Muñoz (Representative of the olive sector in Jaén and former president of AENO), Juan Vilar (Strategic consultant and international expert in the olive oil sector), César Mota (doctor in plant physiology and technical director of I+D+i at Fyneco) and Nereida Luna (director of quality and I+D+i at R&D Animal and Vegetable Nutrition).
As guest projects, we had the interesting presentations of Claudia Pastor, Project manager of CETAQUA, who spoke about the objectives of her new project LIFE CYCLOPS.
Raquel Trillo, Quality and Control Manager of CITOLIVA, gave an interesting talk on the main results obtained in their two LIFE projects, COMPOLIVE and SOLIEVA.
And we ended the presentations with the participation of Enrique Lucas, Acting Secretary General of the City Council of Mora, who spoke about the promising advances in the environmental restoration of alpechín ponds achieved through its LIFE REGROW project.
To conclude, we would be grateful if you would take the following survey, through which we would like to know your opinion and impressions on the impact of the project on your environment.
