OR Central Macedonia today emerges as one of the areas in Greece most threatened by cropping zones because of climate change. Raise temperature causes phenomena like olive grove but also of most deciduous fruit trees, causing significant problems for farmers in the area.
Beyond the direct effect on crops, the most worrying is the issue with the beewhich depends directly on climate changes. Increasing temperature results in hindering bee growth, as the extension of the dry and warm period restricts the blossom mainly in spring. This means that plants, especially in the lowlands, are not sufficient for the nutrition of bees during the summer, thereby leading not only to a decrease in production but also to mass deaths of bees.
Research on climate crisis in Macedonia
These alarming conclusions come from research “The climate was wrong ..”carried out by the Alterthess (COPs Information Publishing Cooperative) with the support of the Rosa Luxembourg-Greece Foundation. During the research, reporters talked to scientists, growers and made visits on the spot, focusing on the impact of the climate crisis on both daily life and agricultural production.
As journalist Stavroula Poulemenos pointed out by presenting the research data, “But we are talking about immediate effects.. At the same time he recalled that the climate crisis has turned the Thermaic Gulf into hot spotwith rising temperatures almost half a degree, that is, just above the average of the Mediterranean.
Industrial agriculture and agri -food model
Significant parameter of the research as Georgia Anagnos has shown, concerns its contribution industrial agriculture In the deterioration of the climate crisis and the distortions of the agri -food model in our country. Reading pointed out that a strategy is required to reinforce a durable and climate positive agri -food system. As he typically stated, “The climate crisis dramatically brings to the forefront the chronic distortions and weaknesses that characterize the development of the Greek agricultural sector and makes a strategic plan on the part of the state, with the aim of shielding Greek agricultural production, turning to more friendly and more friendly,.
The research team consists of Stavroula Poulioumenos and Georgia Anagnos (texts, podcasts script), Theofilos Kalaitzidis (video), Menelao Edoglou (sound, sound mixing, cover design, Podcast production) and Aphrodite Michael (photographs).
