Water is an essential resource, and at Pago de La Jaraba, we manage it with precision. We reuse wastewater from cheese production and livestock for crop irrigation, apply underground drip irrigation systems to maximize efficiency, and use satellite technology to monitor water needs.
- Reuse of wastewater from cheese production and livestock
- Efficient irrigation with underground drip systems
- Smart management with meters and satellite monitoring
Nothing goes to waste. Pruning residues, livestock waste, and by-products from cheese production are turned into compost or biomass to fertilize crops and generate clean energy. Every by-product returns to the production cycle, enhancing sustainability.
- Composting with pruning and livestock waste
- Use of biomass and olive pomace as energy sources
- Reusing whey as livestock feed
Crop rotation, ground cover, and regenerative agriculture are the foundation for soil care and biodiversity enhancement. Every plant on our estate serves a purpose, from vineyards and olive groves to herbaceous crops.
- Regenerative agriculture and crop rotation
- Use of ground cover to enhance biodiversity
Our livestock not only produces milk for making cheese but is also fed with agricultural by-products and contributes natural fertilizers for the crops. It’s a perfect cycle between the land and the animals.
- Feeding livestock with agricultural by-products
- Using livestock waste as organic fertilizer
- Producing milk for artisan cheese
The energy that powers Pago de La Jaraba comes from renewable sources. From solar panels to biomass boilers, we harness natural resources to reduce our carbon footprint.
- Solar energy for water pumping
- Biomass as a heat source for facilities
