The olive farming is an important agricultural sector in the European Union, particularly in the southern Mediterranean coastline countries. More than 95 % of the olive production in the EU-28 is concentrated in the Member States, Spain, Italy and Greece. The EU is the global leader in olive production, accounting for almost 70% of total worldwide output, while Greece is ranking 3rd higher olive oil producing country (Eurostat, 2013).This project aims to transform the current olive grove conventional farming system into organic in Crete, using Integrated Natural Resources Management practices.
