  • Biological Agriculture in Greece: Constraints and Opportunities for Development
    BIOLOGICAL AGRICULTURE IN GREECE: CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT By Leonidas Louloudis Department of Agricultural Economics and Development Agricultural University of Athens Paper presented to the Seminar: “The Common Agricultural Policy and the Environmental Challenge – New Tasks for the Public Administrations? European Institute of Public Administration (EIPA) Maastricht (NL), 145-15 May 2001 2 DRAFT PAPER (not to be quoted) BIOLOGICAL AGRICULTURE IN GREECE: CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT Leonidas Louloudis Department of Agricultural Economics and Development Agricultural University of Athens Introduction Organic agriculture or biological agriculture, as it is called in Greece, does not account to more than 0.63% of the national agricultural output. But since the last food crisis (winter 2000) caused by the sudden re-appearance of the "mad-cow disease" in Europe, it has gained a new developmental momentum. The Greek press, although no incident of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy has been recorded so far within the national borders, covered this last food crisis extensively and devoted much space on the risks to human health, which were considered almost innate to the conventional agro-food system, and to the associated consumption and dietary patterns. In this historical conjuncture, biological agriculture entered the public debate through the mass media as the most immediate and radical solution to the industrial system of food production, which had lost its reliability almost entirely. The Ministry of Agriculture was not prepared to deal with such a severe crisis in the meat sector and thus to apply competently the measures against BSE, agreed upon at EU level. Thus it rushed to support that biological agriculture, and more specifically biological stockbreeding, is the only solution that guarantees a safe and healthy way out of the problem.

  • In Focus: Corfu, Greece
    OCTOBER 2019 IN FOCUS: CORFU, GREECE Manos Tavladorakis Analyst Pavlos Papadimitriou, MRICS Director www.hvs.com HVS ATHENS | 17 Posidonos Ave. 5th Floor, 17455 Alimos, Athens, GREECE Introduction The region of the Ionian Islands consists of the islands in the Ionian Sea on the western coast of Greece. Since they have long been subject to influences from Western Europe, the Ionian Islands form a separate historic and cultural unit than that of continental Greece. The region is divided administratively into four prefectures (Corfu, Lefkada, Kefallinia and Zakinthos) and comprises the islands of Kerkira (Corfu), Zakinthos, Cephalonia (Kefallinia), Lefkada, Ithaca (Ithaki), Paxi, and a number of smaller islands. The Ionian Islands are the sunniest part of Greece, but the southerly winds bring abundant rainfall. The region is noted for its natural beauty, its long history, and cultural tradition. It is also well placed geographically, since it is close to both mainland Greece and Western Europe and thus forms a convenient stepping-stone, particularly for passenger traffic between Greece and the West. These factors have favored the continuous development of tourism, which has become the most dynamic branch of the region’s economy. Island of Corfu CORFU MAP Corfu is located in the northwest part of Greece, with a size of 593 km2 and a costline, which spans for 217 km, is the largest of the Ionian Islands. The principal city of the island and seat of the municipality is also named Corfu, after the island’s name, with a population of 32,000 (2011 census) inhabitants. Currently, according to real estate agents, foreign nationals who permanently reside on Corfu are estimated at 18,000 individuals.

  • Iconography of the Gorgons on Temple Decoration in Sicily and Western Greece
    ICONOGRAPHY OF THE GORGONS ON TEMPLE DECORATION IN SICILY AND WESTERN GREECE By Katrina Marie Heller Submitted to the Faculty of The Archaeological Studies Program Department of Sociology and Archaeology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science University of Wisconsin-La Crosse 2010 Copyright 2010 by Katrina Marie Heller All Rights Reserved ii ICONOGRAPHY OF THE GORGONS ON TEMPLE DECORATION IN SICILY AND WESTERN GREECE Katrina Marie Heller, B.S. University of Wisconsin - La Crosse, 2010 This paper provides a concise analysis of the Gorgon image as it has been featured on temples throughout the Greek world. The Gorgons, also known as Medusa and her two sisters, were common decorative motifs on temples beginning in the eighth century B.C. and reaching their peak of popularity in the sixth century B.C. Their image has been found to decorate various parts of the temple across Sicily, Southern Italy, Crete, and the Greek mainland. By analyzing the city in which the image was found, where on the temple the Gorgon was depicted, as well as stylistic variations, significant differences in these images were identified. While many of the Gorgon icons were used simply as decoration, others, such as those used as antefixes or in pediments may have been utilized as apotropaic devices to ward off evil. iii Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my family and friends for all of their encouragement throughout this project. A special thanks to my parents, Kathy and Gary Heller, who constantly support me in all I do. I need to thank Dr Jim Theler and Dr Christine Hippert for all of the assistance they have provided over the past year, not only for this project but also for their help and interest in my academic future.
