Kinship relations and economic interdependence in family agriculture of the Greek plain

Abstract

Small famliy holdings created by the agrarian reform since 1992 remain nowadays the major feature of the agrarian structure in the lowlands of central and northern Greece. Agriculturists are able to rent and cultivate fields owned by their relatives: families express their social cohesion without any consideration for economic differentiation. It seems that the traditional rural individualism is less influential and the small peasantry is now able to improve its technical level, enlarge its equipments and master its future. -from English summary
