Support the “Local Brand Name” in Agriculture• Assist companies, co-operatives, farmers in monitoring quality

attributes in the production and processing of agricultural products• Incorporate technologies (i.e. marker assisted-breeding) to develop

elite plant genotype varieties• Utilize the rich indigenous biodiversity to support sustainable

utilization of valuable resources

Biodiversity

"biological diversity," refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth based

on genetic differences

“biodiversity of agro-ecosystems”, refers to the variety of ecosystem diversity,

that is the variety of species and ecological functions and processes, both

their kind and number, that occur in different physical settings

“biodiversity of culture”, refers on the historical process of accumulation of

human stock, heritage, leading to the capability to use and manipulate the

product biodiversity and a sustainable respect of the ecosystem biodiversity

Biodiversity in Greece

6300 plant taxa (species and subspecies)

~ 1000 endemic taxa

Identification, authentication and exploitation of

Greek biodiversity: a major objective!
