Watch the first episode of the mini documentary series "Sustainable Agriculture, Sustainable Planet" created by Piraeus Bank and presented by Niki Lymperaki.

The weekly episodes of the series highlight the impact of climate change on agricultural production and how it is exacerbating the food crisis. Then, multiple ways of coping with the consequences are presented with examples of good practices from Greek farmers.

Scientists give their answer to the question "How exactly will agricultural production be affected by water scarcity and prolonged drought?" by explaining the impact of the climate crisis on the national economy and the regions most affected. In addition, they present the role of Piraeus Bank in development and what tools are available that can contribute to the transformation of primary production.
