Resumen
Actualmente, el cultivo del olivar es un sector estratégico para Andalucía en general, ocupando cerca del 41% de la superficie agrícola para este uso, y para Los Villares en particular, ocupando el olivar el 97,18% de la superficie cultivada total. Se trata de un cultivo de expansión masiva que ha ido produciéndose en el sur del país desde finales del siglo XIX y que, a día de hoy, aún sigue produciéndose. En este trabajo estudiaremos la evolución, adaptación y características del olivar de pendiente, así como el paisaje que conforma. Por otra parte estudiaremos las dificultades que presentan este olivar y las posibles alternativas de éste para ser rentable y competitivo frente al olivar de campiña.
Currently, olive cultivation is a strategic sector for Andalusia in general, occupying nearly 41% of the agricultural land used for this purpose, and for Los Villares in particular, with olive groves occupying 97.18% of the total cultivated area. This is a massively expanded crop that has been cultivated in the south of the country since the late 19th century and continues to this day. In this paper, we will study the evolution, adaptation, and characteristics of sloping olive groves, as well as the landscape they shape. We will also study the difficulties posed by this olive grove and possible alternatives for its profitability and competitiveness compared to rural olive groves.
