Adopt an olive tree

Founded in 2015, Agrivar, the Palazzo di Varignana farm, has launched a project to redevelop the landscape agronomically, planting over 160,000 olive trees across 265 hectares of land. This multi-year project aims to bring back ancient olive varieties to the place where they once thrived.

Olive trees are extraordinary plants, extremely long-lived and resilient, with a robust root system that contributes to soil stability and combats erosion. Thanks to their ability to absorb large amounts of CO₂, they play a concrete role in the fight against climate change, helping to mitigate the negative effects of global warming. Furthermore, an olive grove is a special ecosystem. Sheltered by its foliage, almost like natural undergrowth, it provides refuge for a rich biodiversity of species, ranging from insects to birds, small mammals, and wild plants. 

But olive trees are not only useful and generous plants; their beauty, with their foliage changing color and shine in the rustling wind, transforms the hills into unique landscapes, symbols of an ancient balance between man and nature.

It is not known for certain how long an olive tree can live, but it is said to be centuries; the oldest ones are over three thousand years old, testimony to their unparalleled longevity and resistance.

Adopting an olive tree means embracing all this, a simple gesture, an act of love for nature that will last over time.
