Description
Greek accountant finds new future in medicinal plants Areti Zaharopoulou is a producer of organic medicinal aromatic plants that she sells to make a living. The mother-of-four was an accountant in Athens when she suddenly found herself out of a job in 2013 at the age of 57, when the company she had been working for decided to downsize. Like thousands of other Greeks, and with 10 years still to go before she would be entitled to draw a pension, Zaharopoulou felt compelled to roll up her sleeves and re-train in agriculture.
