The Institute of Mediterranean Forest Ecosystems - Hellenic Agricultural Organization DEMETER, organized a three day seminar (from 12 to 14 December 2016), at Loutra Ypatis, in order to inform farmers, stockmen and beekeepers about the "Utilization of Oiti and Kallidromo pasture for the production of animal products". The conclusion of this seminar was to preserve traditional forms of extensive farming and beekeeping as it is an important productive capital. At the same time, the preservation of traditional forms of extensive farming and beekeeping can be a reference point and attract visitors to the mountainous areas not only due to the availability of high quality products but also because of the strong and unique cultural elements which they are associated.
