The UC Davis Olive Center is hosting an International Olive Sustainability Conference (IOSC) September 5 – 7, 2024 (registration and reception September 4). The conference will be held at the UC Davis Conference Center, with a half-day program in Napa.

During this conference you will learn about research and projects around the topics of sustainable olive farming and olive oil production, including soil health, biodiversity, utilization of mill by-products, input management and more. With our "farm to fork" approach, we are also addressing dietary choices that benefit both human and planetary health, and issues of economic and social sustainability.

This is a special opportunity to engage with researchers, farmers, and producers from around the world and members of the olive oil trade and culinary community. In addition to the three-day agenda there are post-conference tours to visit California olive farms and research facilities. Alongside the full schedule of presentations, panel discussions and poster sessions, we have planned social events, olive oil tastings and plenty of opportunities to network and have fun!
