Abstract: | The development of intensive agriculture in the plains of mainland Greece provides products with lower cost than those obtained
from terrace agriculture in the islands. The result is the abandonment of the islands' agriculture followed by collapse of
the traditional agropastoral systems of management. When fires and overgrazing follow, desertification becomes a new reality
in the islands of the Aegean. |
