With the granting of the environmental impact assessment licence, we have moved on to the next stage in the campaign for Greek zeolite. And we are already seeing the practical implications, as another company that had kept its deposit dormant has requested an extension of its licence. This is a positive development and should be conditional upon work commencing in the Thrace region. Thus, the fact that a new licence has been granted has encouraged long-standing players in the sector to activate their own. It is important that there be other investors and specialists, who will collectively form a critical ... Read more

Crete must find a clever way to combine tourism, olive oil production and energy. The key ingredients for the success of this endeavour are Greek innovation, zeolite from Thrace and natural gas from southern Crete. The whole framework must be managed strategically, as critical decisions for the future will need to be taken. In other words, Crete’s endeavour is a practical one and no longer merely theoretical generalisation. There must be coordination of efforts between the Regional Authority, the municipalities and the Hydrocarbons Master’s programme at the Technological Educational Institute of Heraklion. In this way, we will see the application ... Read more

zeolite in hydroponics | Zeolife.gr Hydroponics is an ancient method of growing crops that takes place without soil or earth. Non-aquatic plants grow with their roots in a completely inorganic medium, where they are fed with a nutrient solution. Put simply, the plants grow in water to which the necessary nutrients have been added. The plants’ roots float in the water or on a substrate of ‘pebbles’ through which water constantly flows. In ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, during the Aztec era, and even in the famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the method of hydroponics was used. In modern times, hydroponics is ... Read more

When everyone is preoccupied with trivial matters, they are under the impression that they are actually doing something. Simply because they agree with one another, and that satisfies their sense of self. Some want their position, whilst others want to hold on to it. In fact, they speak earnestly about themselves and are held in high regard, as if they were nothing before, as if they didn’t even exist. And they want us to believe that they are genuinely concerned with our issues. Yet our issues are simple and do not concern any government, but only our homeland. For some ... Read more

When you produce work, you do not fear criticism, because you know your own worth and carry on undeterred. For your role is clear if you love your people and your homeland. And if you have set yourself the goal of securing the Greek Exclusive Economic Zone for them, it doesn’t matter where you are, as you know what you must do. And every obstacle is a way to overcome your personal problems and devote yourself to the national issues that concern you in practice because of your Hellenism. So, if you’re already involved in issues such as the Greek ... Read more

Economic growth and an ever rising world population put pressure on food demands and agricultural products. To feed nearly 9 billion people by 2050, a new vision is needed to ensure food supply, environmental sustainability and economic opportunity through agriculture. Agriculture and forestry are integral parts of the European economy and society. They provide the basis for food, feed and non-food products to meet the demands of consumers and a wide range of industries. With about 70% of the EU land area covered by forests or in agricultural use, primary production activities have a huge impact on the integrity of rural ... Read more
