Rangeland and development of the mountain areas of the West Thessaly
This paper examines the importance that rangelands could have on the development of the mountain areas of the west Thessaly. The results based on economic analysis indicated that the prefecture of Trikala is the more mountainous in Thessaly. During the period 1961-2001 the agricultural population, the cattle breading and the livestock production of the mountain areas to the west Thessaly decreased. The cattle-breading sector contributes a lot to the total regional sector.
