Welcome to “Addressing price volatility and financing needs of young farmers and agriculture” – Brussels, 29 April 2019
This study has investigated EU agricultural financial needs from the point of view of farmers using in-depth data from a Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing survey (CATI) based on a questionnaire developed by the Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development (DG AGRI) and the European Investment Bank (EIB) in the context of the fi-compass technical assistance platform.The survey questionnaire was completed by more than 7 600 farmers across 24 EU Member States (EU-24).
This publication describes a new joint European Commission Directorate General for Agriculture and Rural Development (DG AGRI) – European Investment Bank Group (EIB Group) Initiative for young farmers in the EU.
It builds on the possibilities for achieving high impact of using both the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and EIB Group funding, fund management and advisory support with a single major objective – to support the generational renewal of EU farming.
The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) allows managing authorities to set-up a wide range of potential financial instrument structures to support EU farmers.
