There is a crisis brewing in the olive oil industry.
You're viewing a single thread.
The climate where you can grow these types of things is shifting and industry needs to shift with it. There will be new places that are conducive to growing that crop (that probably used to not be) and we will need to grow them there.
Olive trees take decades to grow to harvest size, I hope we've started already....
Not really, superintensive olive tree plantations in Spain grow to harvest size in about 3 years. It uses a lot of water though.
People have started planting Olives in austria and even germany allready. Eventhoug I think it is more experimental still.
But then you get the crowd complaining about nonnative plants being planted in the new areas lol
