1 . TITLE

PILOT ACTION ON THE ISLAND OF LIMNOS , PREFECTURE OF LESBOS , GREECE , IN PREPARATION FOR THE INTEGRATED MEDITERRANEAN PROGRAMMES .

2 . GENERAL PURPOSE

THE AIM IS TO DEVELOP AGRICULTURAL INFRASTRUCTURES AND PRODUCTION STRUCTURES ( IRRIGATION , GRAZING ) AND THE PROCESSING AND MARKETING OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE , AND TO IMPROVE FISHERY STRUCTURES AND THE AREA'S GENERAL INFRASTRUCTURES .

THE ISLAND OF LIMNOS CONSTITUTES A SEPARATE UNIT FOR PLANNING PURPOSES , WITH SPECIAL FEATURES DUE TO INADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE AND A LOW DEGREE OF EXPLOITATION OF ITS RESOURCES . THE AIM OF THE ACTION IS TO MOBILIZE THESE RESOURCES FOR A PROPERLY GRADED SERIES OF OBJECTIVES WHICH WILL BOTH INCREASE THE IMPLEMENTING CAPACITY OF LOCAL AUTHORITIES AND OTHER BODIES AND BRING ABOUT A MINIMUM LEVEL OF INFRASTRUCTURE TO SERVE AS A BASIS FOR FURTHER PLANNING SCHEMES .

3 . DESCRIPTION AND GENERAL FEATURES OF THE AREA

LIMNOS IS A PART OF THE PREFECTURE OF LESBOS . IT HAS A POPULATION OF 16 000 ( 1981 ) , SPREAD OVER 39 LOCALITIES AND AN AREA OF 47 400 HA . THERE ARE ABOUT 2 400 HA OF CULTIVABLE LAND AND 20 000 HA OF GRAZING . CEREALS ACCOUNT FOR 70 % OF THE CULTIVATED LAND , FODDER CROPS 20 % AND VINEYARDS 8 % . LIVESTOCK FARMING MAKES A LARGE CONTRIBUTION TO AGRICULTURAL INCOMES ( 53 % ) , THE MOST IMPORTANT LIVESTOCK BEING SHEEP AND GOATS .
