Description :
The paper discusses the effectiveness of an agri-environmental policy measure for the reconstruction of cultivation terraces in Greece, with regard to existing practices of farmers. Findings for Lesvos reveal that only part-time and hobby farmers have participated and that they acknowledge the productive, conservation and symbolic value of terraces.
