Projektbeschreibung
Anreize für die nächste Generation der europäischen Landwirtinnen und Landwirte
Die Zahl der neu in den Agrarsektor Einsteigenden ist in vielen europäischen Ländern rückläufig, während viele bestehende Betriebe nicht übernommen werden. Um in der Branche wettbewerbsfähig und widerstandsfähig zu bleiben, muss der Sektor junge unternehmerisch Tätige anziehen und ihnen dabei helfen, die einschüchternden Herausforderungen zu meistern. Im Rahmen des EU-finanzierten Projekt NEWBIE sollen deshalb Anreize für Neulinge geschaffen werden, indem eine Reihe landwirtschaftlicher Geschäftsmodelle entwickelt wird, die den Einstieg erleichtern sollen. Ein interdisziplinäres Team aus landwirtschaftlichen Organisationen, Ausbildenden, Beratenden, Forschenden und Interessengruppen der Industrie wird an der Entwicklung und Bewertung der Geschäftsmodelle sowie an der Einrichtung von Unterstützungsnetzen beteiligt sein, um die Nachhaltigkeit der neuen landwirtschaftlichen Betriebe zu gewährleisten.
Ziel
Sustaining a cohort of new entrants is crucial to the ongoing vitality, resilience and competitiveness of the agricultural sector and rural regions in Europe. New entrants bring with them innovation and entrepreneurialism, as well as practical skills and networks developed on farms and through off-farm employment. However, new entrants face considerable challenges in entering the sector, particularly access to land, capital, labour and markets, but also business skills and knowledge development on both applied and theoretical levels. Analysis of Eurostat figures suggests that there is not an adequate replacement rate of young farmers in many European countries, although there is evidence of considerable innovation and comparatively high rates of new entrants in others (Zagata and Sutherland, 2015). The NEWBIE Network (New Entrant netWork: Business models for Innovation, entrepreneurship and resilience in European agriculture) has been designed to address the significant challenge of enabling new entrants to successfully establish sustainable farm businesses in Europe. The NEWBIE network will facilitate the development and dissemination of new business models, including new entry models, to the full range of new entrants - from successors to complete newcomers to the agricultural sector. This will be achieved by a transdisciplinary network of farming organisations, educators, advisors, researchers and industry stakeholders, who will assemble, assess and exchange the state of the art on new entrant farming enterprises, and establish national and European new entrant support networks. NEWBIE will focus particularly on enabling innovative business models developed by new entrants to be integrated into academic research and educational curricula, and broadly disseminated to new entrants across Europe.
