New Entrant netWork: Business models for Innovation, entrepreneurship and resilience in European agriculture

Descrizione del progetto

Incentivare la prossima generazione di agricoltori europei

In molti Paesi europei il numero di nuovi agricoltori che entrano nel settore agricolo è in calo, mentre molte aziende esistenti non vengono rilevate. Per rimanere competitivo e resiliente, il settore deve attrarre giovani imprenditori e aiutarli a superare le criticità che li intimidiscono. Per affrontare questo problema, il progetto NEWBIE, finanziato dall’UE, intende fornire incentivi ai nuovi arrivati elaborando una serie di modelli di impresa agricola per agevolare l’inizio dell’attività. Un team transdisciplinare di organizzazioni agricole, educatori, consulenti, ricercatori e portatori di interessi del settore sarà coinvolto nella progettazione e nella valutazione dei modelli aziendali, nonché nella creazione di reti di supporto per mantenere la sostenibilità delle nuove aziende agricole.

Obiettivo

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.
