Alfeijoal Farm

• Promotion of organic farming: Quinta do Alfeijoal uses the Organic Production Mode in its olive grove. This sustainable and resilient food production system will be capable of an average production of 5 tons of olives per hectare in 2023, equivalent to 190 tons in 38 hectares. Considering 15% slinging, which translates into the oil squeezed/extracted from the olives, equals 28,500 liters of organic olive oil produced.
• Decent work: the promoter controls the suppliers of the temporary teams so that they have humane working conditions and fair pay.

Indirect:

• Use of renewable energy and promotion of the decarbonization of the economy: part of the energy consumed in the pumps are powered by the 30Kw solar panels installed.
• Conscious consumption and production: the pruning residues are used to promote organic matter in the plantation, and there is careful management of the efficient use of water through advanced control techniques.
• Sustainable soil management: through sowing techniques between the rows of the olive grove and the three annual grass cuts, the generation of organic matter is promoted, contributing to the fertilization and resilience of the soil.
• Promotion of learning for sustainable development: Through a partnership with the Agrarian School of Santarém, annually, the farm receives two trainees, with support in the costs, for practical field experience. In this way, it promotes the dissemination of knowledge and skills related to the organic production of food, promoting sustainable development.
