The whole framework must be managed strategically, as critical decisions for the future will need to be taken. In other words, Crete\u2019s 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\u2019s programme at the Technological Educational Institute of Heraklion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In this way, we will see the application of zeolite in crops to combat the olive fruit fly and subsequently the olive aphid, so that we can move more decisively into the Ultra Premium category whilst also having a local product that attracts tourism without the negative aspects, as it will offer enhanced quality and, indeed, be odourless.
