Última Information Acquisition and Adoption of Organic Farming Practices AgEcon Genius, Margarita; Pantzios, Christos J.; Tzouvelekas, Vangelis. This study offers an empirical framework for analyzing farmers' joint decisions to adopt organic farming practices and to seek technical (i.e., farming) information from various sources. To that end, a trivariate ordered probit model is specified and implemented in the case of organic land conversion in Crete, Greece. Findings suggest that the decisions of information acquisition and organic land conversion are indeed correlated, and different farming information sources play a complementary role. Structural policies improving the farmer's allocative ability are found to play an important role in encouraging organic farming adoption.

Ano: 2006 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/10150 Livestock Subsidies and Rangeland Degradation in Central Crete Ecology and Society Lorent, Hugues; University of Louvain; hugues.lorent@uclouvain.be; Tsiourlis, Georgios M.; National Agricultural Research Foundation (NAGREF); gmtsiou@fri.gr; Lambin, Eric; University of Louvain; lambin@geog.ucl.ac.be. Marginal and unstable environmental conditions force stockbreeders in drylands to develop adaptive strategies to ensure stability of production. In intensive market-oriented pastoral systems, the partial substitution of rangeland forage production by external feed increases the influence of commodity prices in stockbreeders’ decisions, which become increasingly decoupled from environmental constraints. In Mediterranean countries of the European Union (EU), Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) subsidies also influence agricultural practices, potentially increasing environmental impacts. By modeling subsidy allocation to sheep and goat breeders in Crete, we showed that livestock subsidies for Less Favoured Areas (LFA) stimulated flock growth up to a...

Ano: 2009 Social Capital and Social-Ecological Resilience in the Asteroussia Mountains, Southern Crete, Greece Ecology and Society Kizos, Thanasis; Department of Geography, University of the Aegean; akizos@aegean.gr; Detsis, Vassilis; Department of Home Economics & Ecology, Harokopio University;; Iosifides, Theodoros; Department of Geography, University of the Aegean;; Metaxakis, Minas; Department of Geography, University of the Aegean;. Social-ecological resilience (SER) expresses the capacity of a social-ecological system to adapt and transform. We investigated the ways in which different types and transformations of social capital influence the SER of a region. The study area, the Asteroussia Mountains in southern Crete, Greece, is a typical semiarid hilly/mountainous area of the eastern Mediterranean in which land degradation is one of the most important issues in land management, mostly related to overgrazing because of the growing size of the flocks of sheep and goats. The approach followed was qualitative, with in-depth interviews with a small number of key stakeholders in the area. The findings indicate many important changes in the area in terms of its production, economy, and...

Ano: 2014 The Hydrophilous vegetation of Western Crete Naturalis Gradstein, S.R.; Smittenberg, J.H.. The hydrophilous plant communities of Western Crete described and classified in this paper belong to the following classes: Potametea, Adiantetea, Phragmitetea, Molinio- Juncetea, Juncetea maritimi, Isoeto-Nanojuncetea and Alno-Populetea. Two new alliances and five new associations are described: Brachypodio-Holoschoenion, Dorycnio- Rumicion conqlomeratae. Dorycnio-Caricetum otrubae, Dorycnio-Cladietum marisci and Caricetum creticae (all Molinio-Juncetea), Acrocladio-Adiantetum (Adiantetea), and Juncetum subulato-maritimi (Juncetea maritimi).
