Chairman Greeting

Dear Guests,

Welcome to the website of the Department of Agriculture Plant Production and Rural Environment, one of the first Departments of the University of Thessaly. The Department began its operation in 1988 and in its 35+ years of operation has recorded a strong imprint in the field of agricultural education and research, contributing to the Greek society and economy several graduates who today are successfully working in the public or private sector.

The Department of Agriculture Crop Production and Rural Environment cooperates closely with Universities and Institutions in Greece and abroad, by encouraging the exchange of academic staff and students, and by organizing joint meetings and research projects. The Department’s academic curriculum aims at training agronomists and agricultural scientists in the science and technology of plant production and rural environment.

On our website you will find the results of the research and educational activity of the Department’s staff, either in the form of publications in international scientific journals or in the form of papers in national and international conferences. These results are proof of the high-quality research and teaching work produced in the Department.

We hope that our website will be a source of information for everyone interested, whether they are professionals, students, or prospective students.

The Chairman of the Department

Professor Athanasios Sfougaris
