Eureka! Institutional Repository

In the current thesis, there are presented some environmental issues, which affect a wide range of the ecosystems, including the quality of the water, the air, the soil, the pollination of plants, the nutrient circles. Continuing, there is an overview of cultivation systems, with main accent to practices that are friendly towards the people, the environment and the organisms and prime aim the restoration of the damage that has been done. The practices that will be presented are just some of the many that could be applied in different range systems, concerning both small-scale and large-scale producers. The choice of the practices was done according to their success levels, which have been observed in productive crops. Our target is to present a “greener” agriculture and practices – “tools” in the hands of farmers, maintaining the yield undiminished or even increased, with as less as possible environmental footprint.
