This clip features the testimony by Zenovia Kogia, an olive grower in Lesvos, Greece. It brings the spotlight on organic fertilization, one of the agro-ecological practices promoted by Mara-Mediterra.

Zenovia Kogia has been involved with the cultivation of olive trees for 30 years and has been applying agro-ecological practices for the last 20 years. In this video clip, she maintains that due to these agro-ecological practices, an excellent olive product is obtained which has won her several international awards.

Her testimony comes with subtitles in either English, French, Arabic, Greek or Turkish, which are the working languages in Mara-Mediterra’s hotspots of land and water degradation.

The testimonial forms part of an initial set of real-life stories of working with Nature-based Solutions by farmers in Italy, Greece and Malta.
