This dissertation was written as part of the MSc in Sustainable Agriculture and Business
at the International Hellenic University.
Heading into a new era of constant changes and uncertainty, planet’s sustainability
must be secured and the environmental issues should be a main concern. Part of these
concerns is the agricultural processes and the impact they have on the global health.
EU especially in the last thirty years is working towards a more sustainable model of
production and organic agriculture has a main role in it. The main tool of the union is
CAP and every member state adapt to its suggestions. Hellenic agricultural policy is
mainly following CAP’s footsteps. In the recent years there is an increase in the
attention in organic products mainly coming from the increase in funding.
As it is expected not every issue is resolved and solving problems regarding food
production in most of the cases is more complex than it may appear. Their complexity
generates from the fact that everything is connected to the food production and any
intervention affects multiple sectors.
This dissertation aims to give an aspect of the current EU agri-environmental policy
and especially the condition of Hellenic organic agriculture. In this process, concerning
issues will be highlighted and possible suggestions for improvement will be made.
