With farmers under the age of 40 accounting for only 11.9% of farm managers in the EU in 2020, the need to ensure generational renewal is becoming a key issue in the agricultural sector.
EURACTIV interviewed Peter Meedendorp, a young farmer from the Netherlands and President of the European Council of Young Farmers (CEJA), to find out more about the challenges young farmers face when trying to make a living in agriculture.
According to Meedendorp, the EU should do more to ensure that young farmers have access to investment, land and high quality services in rural areas.
