Project summary:

Soil erosion is quite common in Malta as a result of rainwater runoff and intense winds. A couple of young farmers who run an organic farm in Malta used CAP funding to implement a non-productive investment, which included the restoration and construction of traditional dry stone walls and the planting of new olive trees.

Project results:

The dry stone walls and the new olive trees provide windbreaks, which have reduced erosion of the farm’s soil and created additional habitats for local flora and fauna.
