Through the last decades the Greek rural space has been suffering a constant decline in economic, social and environmental terms, as well. An important and characteristic aspect of the problem is the desertion of agricultural land. The Municipality of Zitsa is considered to be affected by this general rule, with minimal exceptions. Within this context, the present paper consists of an effort to investigate the obstacles and problems of Municipality’s primary sector, in order to reveal critical parameters that could potentially contribute to the improvement of the current situation, given that proper measures are put into action. The research outcomes are expected to open a dialogue on the agricultural sector’s development prospects, not only in the area of study but also on a broader level.
