Regenerative agriculture and biodiversity initiatives in|in|

Overview

Spain is expanding its focus on regenerative agriculture and biodiversity through various public and private initiatives. Early efforts, such as the EU-funded LIFE Olivares Vivos project, have focused on reconciling olive groves with local ecosystems by introducing practices like preserving weeds and creating water sources for pollinators.

Private sector involvement has also grown, with PepsiCo expanding its regenerative footprint by adding over 4,000 hectares of crops in Álava and Badajoz to improve soil health and climate resilience.

Recent developments show a shift toward technological integration and large-scale discussion. The ‘Demofarm Andalucía’ project is evaluating technological solutions, such as irrigation monitoring and automated weather stations, to improve farm competitiveness across several provinces. Furthermore, industry leaders and researchers are convening in Madrid to discuss transforming production systems through techniques like cover cropping and reduced tillage to combat land degradation.
