The causam\u2014the true cause of the farmers\u2019 mobilizations\u2014is not a survival mentality, as it has been portrayed for the past thirty years, but rather the transformation of the sector that never took place, for numerous reasons. \u201cA modern Greek agriculture,\u201d Chamakis wrote in a recent article, \u201cshould not revolve exclusively around how subsidies will increase or how one more year will be scraped through, but around human capital and youth participation, digital and environmental expertise, connection to high-value markets and table products, and strategic cooperation between producers, processing, and international networks. In other words, think of it not as \u2018blockades vs. the state,\u2019 but as an opportunity to reflect on what is worth building instead of repeating the same mistakes.\u201d Nothing could be truer than this.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-245779 img-responsive img-center\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/thumbnail_7-\u0398\u0391\u03a5\u039c\u0391\u03a4\u0391-695x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"695\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/thumbnail_7-\u0398\u0391\u03a5\u039c\u0391\u03a4\u0391-695x1024.jpg 695w, https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/thumbnail_7-\u0398\u0391\u03a5\u039c\u0391\u03a4\u0391-204x300.jpg 204w, https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/thumbnail_7-\u0398\u0391\u03a5\u039c\u0391\u03a4\u0391-768x1132.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/thumbnail_7-\u0398\u0391\u03a5\u039c\u0391\u03a4\u0391-1042x1536.jpg 1042w, https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/thumbnail_7-\u0398\u0391\u03a5\u039c\u0391\u03a4\u0391-1389x2048.jpg 1389w, https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/thumbnail_7-\u0398\u0391\u03a5\u039c\u0391\u03a4\u0391.jpg 1664w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Christos Zabounis \u201c\u03a4\u03bf \u03bc\u03b5\u03bd \u03c0\u03c1\u03ac\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1 \u03bf\u03c1\u03ce\u03c3\u03b9\u03bd, \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03b4\u03b5 \u03b1\u03b9\u03c4\u03af\u03b1\u03bd \u03bf\u03c5 \u03b3\u03b9\u03b3\u03bd\u03ce\u03c3\u03bf\u03c5\u03c3\u03b9\u03bd,\u201d or, in modern Greek, \u201cthey see the result or the phenomenon, but they do not understand the cause that produces it.\u201d I turn to this ancient maxim in order to approach the agricultural issue not with the superficial understanding most of us possess, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":245777,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18496],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245782"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=245782"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245782\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":245784,"href":"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245782\/revisions\/245784"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/245777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=245782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=245782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=245782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
