Descripción del proyecto
Crear incentivos para la próxima generación de agricultores europeos
El número de nuevos agricultores que se incorporan al sector agrario en muchos países europeos está disminuyendo, mientras que ya nadie se hace cargo de las numerosas explotaciones existentes. A fin de seguir siendo competitivo y resiliente en la industria, el sector necesita atraer a jóvenes empresarios y ayudarles a superar retos que resultan intimidatorios. Con el objetivo de hacer frente a esta situación, el proyecto NEWBIE, financiado con fondos europeos, pretende ofrecer incentivos para los nuevos agricultores mediante el desarrollo de una serie de modelos de negocio agrícolas que faciliten sus inicios en el sector. Un equipo transdisciplinar de organizaciones agrarias, educadores, asesores, investigadores y partes interesadas del sector participará en el diseño y la evaluación de los modelos de negocio, así como en la creación de redes de apoyo para mantener la sostenibilidad de las nuevas explotaciones.
Objetivo
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.
