Supporting new entrants in the access to land: Inspiring experiences


The Operational Group TERRACTIVA has just published a compilation of inspiring experiences at European level on how to facilitate access to land either to new entrants (those willing to start an activity within the agricultural sector) or even to existing farms with no guaranteed generational renewal. The experiences demonstrate how strategic this group of emerging farmers is and ratify at the same time the need to create tools to tackle the main challenges they face.

From the United Kingdom to Austria and Galicia, each region develops its own tools motivated by the different realities faced. Likewise, the publication also collects the different instruments of land mobility, management and recovery in Galicia, as well as an overview of the current situation of this profile of people at a Galician level.

This will be the last working year for the TERRACTIVA Operational Group. The project started at the end of the year 2022, focused on facilitating the entry into the agricultural sector for people from outside, the so-called new entrants, and is currently developing a set of different guidelines especially focused on supporting the work of advisors from entities of accompaniment (LAGs, ACOs, Cooperatives, associations and foundations, etc.). Several resources will be published within the upcoming months with the intention to generate a methodological and guidance basis for these entities to adapt to their territories in order to work according to the proposed method.

TERRACTIVA is an Operational Group project, co-financed by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) within the framework of the Rural Development Program (PDR) of Galicia 2014-2020.
