Olive oil plays a vital role in the diet of the future

It has now been confirmed: the Olive Oil World Congress (OOWC) will open its next edition with a keynote lecture delivered by Dr. Fabrice DeClerck, one of the most influential figures in the field of sustainable food systems and global health. His talk, titled “The Future of Olive Oil in a Changing World: Innovation, Climate, and Global Demand Political Authorities,” will set the tone for the event.

During his presentation, the speaker will offer a strategic perspective on the role of olive oil in a rapidly changing international landscape.

Dr. DeClerck has contributed as an expert to major international studies examining the relationship between diet, human health, and environmental sustainability, where olive oil holds a prominent place within current dietary patterns.

In his talk, he will highlight the value of scientific evidence supporting the benefits of olive oil, linking it to the promotion of balanced and sustainable diets, as well as its growing recognition in international markets.

The opening keynote will also address the growth opportunities for the global olive oil sector, in a context shaped by evolving demand, the need to adapt to climate change, and the drive for innovation across the entire value chain.

It will emphasize the potential of olive oil as a strategic product in emerging markets, as well as its positioning as a key food within global healthy consumption trends.
