In this video, he presents his idea for the creation of an online interactive platform to map the food system of Greece. His idea also involves the creation of an innovation cluster of "Food Hubs" across Greece. These Food Hubs are physical meeting spaces for startups, social enterprises, investors and food communities, with the aim to generate opportunities for youth in the food economy. This idea is #NotJustAboutGreece and can be applied in other countries, with the purpose of achieving a generational renewal in global agriculture, ensure food security, spur youth rural/urban entrepreneurship and steward natural resources.

ARC2020 http://www.arc2020.eu/2015/06/focus-on-greece-with-pavlos-georgiadis/ June 2015 *Despite the potential of our land, Greece now imports the majority of its food and on average we are the second most obese people in the EU. These abnormalities are largely attributable to the EU’s Common Agriculture Policy, which has supported the growth and development of a very narrow range of large-scale monocultures, almost entirely for export purposes. The failures of the CAP have had a profound effect not only on our food culture and agricultural skills, but also on the landscape of the country. In just three decades, Greece has lost most of its local agricultural varieties and almost all of its dry land, low-input agriculture was pushed out of the market. In Crete, a large number of two-thousand-year-old olive trees were turned into firewood, within a very short period of time.* <https://gr.linkedin.com/in/geopavlos> ========== You received this message because you are subscribed to the UK food sovereignty coordination list, [email protected] If you don't want to be on this list, send an email to: [email protected] -- Check out the Commons Transition Plan here at: http://commonstransition.org P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/
