Dr. Georgios Daoutopoulos was born in Edessa (Greece) but grew up in the plain of Giannitsa, which influenced his later scientific choices and academic career. He holds a degree in Agronomy and Economics. He did his Ph.D. in Rural Sociology and Sustainable Development in the USA (Michigan State University). He was a Professor at the Department of Agriculture, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (1985-2008). In 2009 he started a new writing project with simultaneous research on his family's farm in the domain of Sustainable Agriculture. He has published numerous books (in Greek) related to the use and benefits of soil microorganisms, soil care-health, organic cultivation of olive trees, sustainable cultivation of almond trees, and sustainable cultivation of walnut trees. His work embraces Sustainable Agriculture practices and philosophy that does not undermine the ability of agricultural ecosystems to produce valuable food. Scientists must inform the public and provide them with knowledge and experience to help them adopt a more sustainable, economic, and fair cultivation system compatible with the long-term well-being of humans and nature More information can be found online at www.daoutop.gr.
