The main objectives of the EcoOlives project are: 

• to enhance the development opportunities and boost the growth potential of EU olive farmers and olive oil producers by entering a market of organic olives and olive oil (OO&OO); 
• to develop specific knowledge and competences in the EU olive farmers and olive oil producers to produce and promote OO&OOs by providing a transversal, multidisciplinary and tailor-made training on organic olives and olive oil production, pest control and promotion; 
• to remind and develop awareness that the olives and olive groves are part of the cultural and historical heritage of the country; 
• to encourage the application of organic farming and production approaches among new and existing olive farmers and olive oil producers; 
• to promote a wider use of organic olives and olive oil among EU customers.

In order to implement those objectives, the project will develop an interactive training course, an e-learning platform, a manual for trainers and a guide on certification of organic olives and olive oil. Each partner will create certain sections and units of the course and they will also develop an interactive repository and section with tests and exercises.
