Olive groves under no tillage and no herbicide application.
Rain water harvesting from greenhouses roofs.
Graze land forestation with Ceratonia siliqua (carob trees)
This technology consists of (a) ploughing the soil, (b) sowing the plants usually vetch or oat or in combination in November and (c) grazing the growing plants during spring. The main purpose of this technology is to increase the produced palatable biomass in a grazing land in which the biomass …
Freshwater transport from local streams for irrigation purposes, in order to replace the traditional form of irrigation (by pumping saline groundwater from wells).
The presented technology of leaving rock fragments in/on the soil in order to reduce soil evaporation and erosion in sloping areas greatly contributes to soil and water conservation.
Terraces are constructions built mainly in hilly areas to reduce water erosion losses from cultivated erodible soils and for water conservation.
Drip irrigation, also known as trickle irrigation is a method which minimizes the use of water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone, through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters.
The technology consists of shaping the land in small ridges followed an interspaced part in which the main cultivation work of the crop is carried out. Ridges are the place where the plants are growing.
