Olive groves are areas of land where olive trees are cultivated for their fruit, which is used to produce olive oil and table olives. These trees thrive in warm, Mediterranean climates and are often planted in rows to facilitate harvesting. Olive groves can vary in size, from small family-owned farms to large commercial operations. The cultivation of olive trees dates back thousands of years, making them an important part of Mediterranean culture and agriculture. Olive groves not only provide economic benefits but also contribute to the landscape's beauty and biodiversity, supporting various wildlife species in the region.
