In May 2014, Oliete began to write a new chapter in its history titled 'The resurgence'. Donors, farmers
and the entire town write this novel that will have a happy ending. Find out how the solution is hidden in
the problem, only requiring a different point of view.
In simplicity lies success:
Recovering is Repopulating

Population
It only takes a quick glance at the population trend in Oliete to
see one of the great problems of Spain: The rural exodus propelled by the youth combined with the lack of opportunities
for them to stay.
The olive trees
The rural exodus has caused the neglect of the olive trees due to the intense amount of work that preserving an olive tree entails.

the point of view
Where others see old and unproductive olive trees, we envision the economic development engine that Oliete needs to survive. The www.apadrinaunolivo.org platform
is designed to preserve and put in value more than 100.000 abandoned trees with your help,
generating a sustainable economy with great social impact in a village at risk of disappearing.
We make it happen
In 4 years of work, we have recovered 7.000 olive trees, generated 7 permanent and 7 part
time jobs with the collaboration of ATADI. More than 3.500 people have
come to visit their adopted olive trees, Oliete and the Iberian culture.
7.000 olive trees recovered, 14 job positions,
