| Summary: | [EN] The European agricultural sector grapples with rural decline, policy complexities, and socio-economic disparities. This study focuses on the challenges facing Greek agriculture, such as lack of state support and societal complexities. It aims to understand why interest in farming is declining in Greece by integrating insights from European legislation, socio-economic measures, and immigration dynamics. Through a survey of 1,009 respondents, factors such as unstable weather, challenging work conditions, and limited career prospects were identified as deterrents. The study highlights disparities among different groups and emphasizes the need for nuanced policy interventions to revitalize the sector and address worker grievances. |
