The penetration of precision agriculture technologies in agrifood systems generates the need for efficient upskilling programs targeted at farmers and other actors. A critical first step this direction is to uncover training needs actors involved ecosystems. present study aimed identify assess gaps competencies related Greek livestock researchers specialized field. For farmers, we followed a partially mixed research design. To researchers’ needs, chose qualitative-dominant approach. results...
Oxidative stress is linked to coronary artery disease and a major mechanism in contrast-induced nephropathy. Trans-radial approach angiography (CA) with minimized peri-procedural bleeding expected reduce acute kidney injury incidence. In the present study, oxidative patterns observed radial CA their associations early manifestations of are described. A total 20 stable patients submitted 17 sex-matched undergoing computed tomography for myoskeletal reasons were enrolled. Reduced glutathione,...
The aim of the research is to discuss methodological issues that could be learned from use historical terms such as trust and social capital in a rural area. We hope gain knowledge discussing these old concepts new setting; mountainous area Greece. basic hypothesis lies fact can detected through trustworthy relationships, which, turn, nourish entrepreneurship. sought disclose dynamics will then help form policy proposal for promoting Social Economy areas.

The present study attempts to estimate individuals’ willingness pay for recycled water irrigation, in order enhance the supply and ensure continuation of irrigated agriculture Nestos catchment. Contingent valuation method has been developed investigation farmers’ preferences, monetary terms, adopt this alternative source irrigation purposes. applied is regularly followed framework environmental valuation. results survey are based on data collected from questionnaires, which were answered by...
The Water Framework Directive (WFD) explicitly acknowledges the role of economics in process achieving water quality targets it sets. At same time, stakeholder participation resources management is emphasized Directive. In this paper, we examine farmers' willingness-to-pay (WTP) for ecological status improvement at a river basin scale. Based on Contingent Valuation survey aims first to estimate value farmers place as envisaged by WFD. Then through use different econometric models was...

As the penetration of digital technologies in agriculture deepens, farm advisors have to cope with new roles, which generate need for updating already possessed and developing competencies. Although in-service can build such skills through their involvement practice agriculture, students agronomy (and related) departments who will undertake role future are expected develop relevant competencies during university education. Do current curricula supply them competencies? In pursuing this...

Sustainable, conservation-oriented agricultural practices like pest regulation by insectivorous birds can decrease agrochemical use and enhance efforts on maximizing biodiversity. Previous research has shown that attracting insect-eating bird species improve control in fruit crops have a positive impact yield. We conducted survey among farmers to analyze the determinants of potential adoption biological (BPC) provided their farms. Quantitative analysis showed willingness implement innovative...
Agricultural digitalization is gaining momentum, urging a transition from process-driven to technology-enhanced and data-driven agriculture. To support such help farmers derive benefits digital technologies, also avoiding the potential threats associated with digitalization, future advisors need variety of competencies, ranging pure technocentric skills more complex capabilities, as impact forecasting facilitation. Do Greek students who study become have these competencies? In this study, we...
Agri-voltaics (AVs) refer to combining agricultural activities and photovoltaic power generation. This dual use of the land has been identified as an important measure address some main current future social environmental challenges. AVs constitute upward trend at a global level. However, limited number studies have carried out identify views interested parties, farmers, regarding adoption on their lands. paper reports research findings investigation farmers' attitudes towards photovoltaics...
