💨 Abstract

Organic farmers in Cyprus have introduced a pilot project involving retired hens in their olive groves. Hens, saved from slaughter, are fed with food waste donations and their droppings serve as natural fertilizer for olive trees. The hens help reduce pests, enrich the soil, and decrease methane emissions by reducing organic matter in landfills. This initiative has been successful in improving olive tree growth and yields.
