26/02/2025 - Olive growing and archaeology: ERA produces a series of five documentaries

ERA and Olivum launch documentaries that bridge archaeology and agriculture

The connection between archaeology and agriculture can be advantageous through effective management of interests and best practices. In this context, ERA, in collaboration with Olivum – the Association of Olive Growers and Oil Mills of Portugal – has produced five documentaries that shed light on a lesser-known reality. These films aim to disseminate knowledge and raise awareness between both sectors.

The documentaries, part of the TERRA-OLIVA project, promote the history and cultural connection of olive oil, focusing on the evolution of best practices over the years and the increasingly healthy and fruitful relationship between the olive-growing sector and heritage.

The first documentary, ‘The Origins of Olive Growing – Reconciling Agriculture, Heritage and Archaeology’, is now available on our YouTube channel:
