By completing a decade of creative presence in the happenings of Greek agriculture, GAIA EPICHEIREIN was from the beginning and still remains the leading body supporting the sustainability and business development of the country's agricultural enterprises and cooperative organizations.
Combining the cooperative, technological, banking and geotechnical know-how drawn from our multi-collective shareholding structure, we lead the provision of innovative services but also the dissemination of information and knowledge about the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), exemplifying at the same time a collaborative approach to the agrifood sector and an equal interlocutor of similar bodies at EU level..
The new decade of great challenges but also opportunities that opens up for European and Greek agriculture with a horizon of 2035, an intermediate milestone in the implementation of the Green Deal, finds us several steps ahead in relation to the top goal of the digital transition of agriculture which is a catalyst for its economic and environmental sustainability. Our development goes hand in hand with the development of Greek agriculture and its economic factors and is guided by knowledge, experience and technological innovation.

The innovative venture of GAIA EPICHEIREIN introduced a new vocabulary in Greek agriculture: entrepreneurship, cooperation, knowledge, technological innovation. These concepts and their transformation from strategic priority to practice have been instrumental in the paradigm shift underway in the European and national agricultural sector already since the previous programming period, a fact recognized by leading stakeholders and policy makers at EU level.
At the same time, our rich activity over the years, paved the way for the acceptance and consolidation of the strategic directions of the new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in the era of the European Green Deal, both at national policy agenda level as well as among farmers and agri-cooperatives. Knowledge and technological innovation are not only in our DNA. They represent the only sustainable way forward for European and Greek agriculture, placing us at the forefront of the new era unfolding before us.
