For years, oily fruit dropping from the university's 1,500 olive trees created hazardous conditions on bicycle paths. Weary of the hazards and the high costs of tree maintenance, the university decided in 2005 to take a more sustainable approach and began harvesting the olives to produce olive oil.
By taking a landscape nuisance and transforming it into a successful olive oil program, UC Davis Olive Oil symbolizes the principles of innovation and sustainability supported by the university.
