European agricultural succession and competitiveness

Overview

European agriculture is facing difficulties regarding competitiveness and the transition of farm ownership to younger generations. Individual cases in Denmark and Germany highlight the personal complexities of managing multi-generational dairy farms, including inheritance taxes and the balance of leadership with family life.

On a broader scale, reports indicate a resilience gap in the European Union, noting that plant production growth between 2011 and 2023 averaged only 0.1 percent annually, trailing major producers such as Brazil. To combat the shortage of young farmers, proposals for the post-2027 Common Agricultural Policy suggest member states could provide up to 300,000 euros in cumulative support per young farmer through various financial instruments and subsidies. In Poland, the specific implementation of these supports and requirements for agricultural education remain under discussion.
