YOUNG FARMER - New ideas for sustainability and farm development via European<br />

young farmer's exchange<br />

Agriculture is going though a fast change in the whole Europe. Europe. Every year a good number of farms give up<br />

production and the size of farms is increasing. People are moving to population centres, young people don't find rural jobs<br />

interesting and population in the countryside is aging.<br />

Farmers should find answers to following questions: How to maintain farming as a family business? How to get sufficient<br />

income on reasonable amount of work? How to enhance sustainable development on one's own farm? How to reconcile<br />

environment respect and agricultural activity? How to manage changing regulations coming from EU and from local<br />

authorities?<br />

In this challenging situation farmers need alternative strategies for developing their enterprises and keeping the<br />

countryside alive. Young farmers play an important role in finding new possibilities for the countryside.<br />

The idea of this project is that young farmers together with agricultural adult education, organisations acquire knowledge<br />

and experiences from other countries and change ideas with farmers from other countries. Young farmers will apply these<br />

experiences in promoting the vitality of their own region and on developing their own farms.<br />
