Abstract
This article studies of adoption and diffusion processes of Spanish ecological agriculture, mainly Andalusian ecological olive grove. For this, European agri-environmental law is revised and an empirical analysis about conjoint adoption of ecological production and fight against soil erosion is realized. Data carried out of a survey of two hundred farmers of Granada and Jaen in 2004. Specifically, factors that explain the decision of reconversion towards ecological production is studied by a probit model. Also several sigmoidal models of the principal soil conservation practice in the area of study (maintenance of stonewalls) is estimated. Finally to connect more tightly complementary soil conservation practices and ecological production is recommended.
