Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study provides an analysis of the current situation of young farmers within the European Union and in six 'first wave' candidate countries for EU membership. It describes the problems faced by young farmers at present. The description is based on statistics, and on opinion researched from a wide number of sources at EU and national level. Emphasis is put on actions that have been taken at EU level since this is the focus of the European Parliament's interest. The study attempts to assess the success and impact of the various measures taken. Although this study does not propose major alterations to EU agricultural policy it does make concrete achievable proposals for action based on the existing policy framework. These proposals include: improving information about young farmers; easing farm transfers; encouraging early retirement in the sector; tackling installation costs; improving education, training and networking.

Download or read book EU Support to Young Farmers Should be Better Targeted to Foster Effective Generational Renewal written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of young farmers fell from 3.3 mln in 2005 to 2.3 mln in 2013. The EU allocated 9.6 billion euro to young farmers in 2007-2020 to foster generational renewal in agriculture. The Court found that this aid is often poorly-defined, with no expected result and impact specified. For Pillar 1 (direct payments), the aid is provided in a standardized form not matching young farmers' needs other than additional income. For Pillar 2 (rural development), the aid better addresses young farmers' needs and prompts specific actions (e.g. introducing organic farming, water- or energy-saving initiatives), however the managing authorities did not always apply selection procedures to prioritise the best projects. The Court recommends to better define the objectives and target the EU support in order to foster effective generational renewal.

Book excerpt: Agriculture is one of the important sectors in the transformation of the European economy and society towards a long-term sustainable future. European farmers will face several challenges in the future, as they continue to supply food and non-food products and at the same time, contribute to this transition. The challenges are wide ranging and include: climate change, resource scarcity, infrastructural issues and changes in food demand/diet habits. The study 'Farmers of the Future' has explored who the farmers - that will be dealing with those challenges in the medium- to long-term future - will be. This report presents the results of that exploration. It describes the 2040 landscape of farmers and presents policy implications.
Download or read book European Agriculture written by Brian Gardner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-04-10 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is central to both economic and environmental developments in Europe. But with the advent of new environmental legislation and political change in Europe the CAP faces increasing pressure to reform. European Agriculture provides a comprehensive breakdown of the workings of the CAP and its impact on farming in Europe. The author discusses every aspect of European agricultural policy, production and trade, from environmental contraints and the impact of biotechnology, to the role of European farming in the world food supply system. Posing direct questions about the recent 1992 agricultural reform, the 1994 GATT agreement and the reasons for the expensive continuation of the CAP, European Agriculture analyses the economic, political and environmental implications of pursuing present farming policy and provides a provocative commentary on the agricultural future of Europe.

Download or read book The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Youth in rural areas, and young farmers in particular, enhance rural vitality and pave the way for stronger value chains and rural prosperity. Generational renewal is one of the preconditions for improved competitiveness of the agricultural sector over the longer term and for sustainable food production in Europe. Rural development policy not only facilitates the set-up of young farmers and new entrants to farming, it actively supports young entrepreneurs across many sectors of the economy. The policy’s wider objective of strengthening the socio-economic fabric is also helping to make rural areas more attractive places to live and work, especially for young people. This edition of the EAFRD Projects Brochure comprises three sections which highlight different aspects of the policy challenge posed by generational renewal in rural areas. It profiles some of the approaches being used to support young farmers and young entrepreneurs in the current programming period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a stimulating account of agricultural policy which goes beyond a narrow concern with the mechanisms and operation of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), and instead constructs a broader canvas, developing an assessment of the relationship between national, international and supranational institutions and actors in the agricultural sector. Among the theses covered by the book are: the different national policy styles across Europe in this sector; the evolution of the CAP; safety and regulation, the environment, and technological developments in food production such as genetic engineering.
Download or read book The pursuit of sustainable agriculture in EU free trade agreements written by Luchino Ferraris and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-14 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the extent to which EU Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) pursue sustainable agriculture in third country parties. It contends that this should be part of a duty for the EU enshrined in the Treaties to promote its fundamental values in its external action. It suggests that the extent to which this occurs in practice, may be reviewed judicially by the Court of Justice of the European Union. Against this background, selected agreements concluded by the EU with developed and developing countries (Canada, South Korea, Ukraine, Chile, SADC countries and Vietnam) are taken as case studies. The author concludes that, in spite of the remarkable progress made hitherto, EU trade policy is still far from being in line with the increasingly strong commitment of the EU to take the lead in the international arena for environmental and climate matters. This work adopts primarily a legal methodology, but it broaches the subject in interdisciplinary terms. It is addressed not only to (EU) policy-makers, but also to scholars of different fields and to the wider public interested in topics that have become of common concern for the future of our planet. With a foreword by Daniel Calleja Crespo, Director General of the European Commission - DG Environment

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changes in market organisation, climatic conditions and societal demands on food quality, animal welfare and environmental quality have created new conditions for farming families as well as for researchers and policy makers. New social, technical and economic solutions are needed for farming and rural areas. This book presents new perspectives for farms, farm products and rural areas, many of which were collectively developed by coalitions of farmers, farmer representatives, researchers, civilians and/or policy makers. Contributions are made from those involved in crop and animal production worldwide offering sections on natural resources management, development of sustainable rural systems, future perspectives for farming families, knowledge systems in transition and learning processes in multi-stakeholder processes. This unique collection of contributions, presenting insights from bio-physical as well as social sciences, shows where practice meets analysis and reflection and offers new perspectives for rural areas throughout the world.
