The article discusses the efforts of olive oil producers in facing climate change, as extreme warming and droughts are affecting olive yields and leading to a significant decline in production along with very high prices. Global production has dropped from 3.42 million tons in 2021-2022 to 2.57 million tons in 2022-2023, with projections indicating a further decrease to 2.41 million tons in 2023-2024. Meanwhile, prices have risen by between 50% and 70%. The main producing region, the Mediterranean, is experiencing temperature increases at a rate faster than the global average, threatening the long-term sustainability of production. Farmers and researchers are working to improve irrigation techniques and select climate-resistant varieties, focusing on altering tree and soil management practices to adapt to the escalating impacts of climate change.
