Farm succession has become an urgent issue for all European countries concerned about agriculture, good food, rural development, public health and the environment. In fact, farmers feed us, keep the rural environment alive, support our health and maintain the landscape and natural habitats. However, older farmers find it difficult to motivate their children to take over their farm. Preliminary research shows that there isn't enough data on the subject of generational renewal and no strategies have been set up to facilitate the process, or they are insufficient in many countries.
For this reason, the European Network for Farm Succession has organized a two-day seminar on 7 and 8 November in Brussels. The goal is to highlight the urgency of the issue of farm succession in Europe and to present the results of their collaborations, as well as their proposals to the European institutions.
