Abstract:
This article examines rural income security in Greece, in the context of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), which dominates the agricultural sector of the country and influences the agricultural income strongly. This is of special interest for Greece, since it concerns almost 12 per cent of its population. This work researches out actions, choices and attitudes of certain institutions, social groups and individuals, who participate and co-shape the rural society and economy. A semeiotic approach has been used to examine the parameters which influence the rural income in Greece, in EU, in country level, in farm business level and in farmer's level .The facts which emerge, many times differ from the miserable and downgraded picture farmers, deliberately or not, try to show for themselves or some others who occupy with farmers, try to show for them.
