Mediterranean olive groves, which have long been symbols of tradition and culinary heritage, now reveal warning signs of rapidly declining soil health across Europe’s agricultural landscapes. Driven by intensive farming, climate pressures and policy gaps, accelerating soil loss threatens both ecosystem health and rural livelihoods, signalling a critical need for sustainable soil management and adaptive strategies.
