On Monte Pisano, where olive trees represent landscape, culture, and memory, we meet to envision the future of olive growing together.
Among virtuous experiences, sustainable innovation, and food well-being, the conference is an opportunity for discussion and inspiration.
And in the end, like in the old days, we’ll gather under the olive trees: to share the simple taste of the land and the power of storytelling.

9:15 – 10:15 – AGGREGATION IN OLIVE GROWING: A SHARED PATH TO FACE THE FUTURE
In an increasingly demanding and globalized agricultural context, olive growing must reinvent itself. The aggregation among producers, oil mills, and supply chain actors represents not just an opportunity today, but a true strategy to grow, innovate, and enhance our territories.
These experiences aim to be a moment of discussion and inspiration, to discover virtuous models, overcome challenges, and chart new routes together towards a shared olive-growing future.
