GAIA EPICHEIREIN is a newly established Greek organization founded in 2014, representing both farmers & agri-cooperatives (71 agri-cooperatives and associations, 150.000 farmers) working all over the territory and across the spectrum of agricultural production both in terms of crop and livestock sectors. GAIA EPICHEIREIN has 2 main missions:
- To represent and promote the interests of its farmers and agri-cooperative members by acting as their national and EU reference point in terms of policy, tax & legal and business support,
- To assist Greek farmers and agri-cooperatives in making a quality leap towards a more sustainable and competitive farming sector by investing in knowledge and innovation. To this end GAIA EPICHEIREIN’s farmers and agri-cooperatives have teamed up with partners from the IT sector (NEUROPUBLIC SA) and the banking sector (PIRAEUS BANK GROUP) assisting them in their transition towards a more sustainable and competitive agricultural model by putting in place suitable technological and financial tools.Main EU files targeted
