Abstract
  • The UN have grasped the idea of the Convention in Rio de Janeiro to make biodiversity the keystone of agricultural policy.Plans in the rural policy in the UN include a series of agroenvironmental measures to reward agricultural firms practising sustainable environmental development. The situations considered damaging for the environment are overexplotation of resources,disappearance of biodiversity and abandonment of soils which may cause loss of the layer that has been cultivated by man for centuries giving the rural environment dignity of habitat and landscape. Olive growing,a characteristic element of Mediterranean landscape is an example of protection and general survival.The targeted policy of sustainability must meet the economic,social and ecological problems besides favouring targeted production in the interest of consumers. Olive growing respecting the environment does not mean returning to traditional cultivation as in the case of biological production when phytosanitary and natural methods of production must be considered in order to avoid the use of pesticides. Repeated attempts to develop olive growing cannot rely on the plant material used so far.Genotype flexibility should be analyzed not to provoke a biological disaster which has already happened with other fruit varieties by unconrolled use of varieties in areas of quite different characteristics.Thus the varieties have been deprived of their important role in production. The events indicative of economic revival of modern olive growing in the countries where olives have not been traditionally grown,various international attempts directed at protection of biodiversity are an ideal instrument of sustainable production.
