The seminar offers an opportunity to exchange on how to turn the EU Strategy for Generational Renewal into concrete actions, fostering dialogue and partnerships for rural youth and young farmers.
Europe’s rural areas face a major generational challenge: the average EU farmer is nearly 60, and only 12% are under 40. At the same time, one in three rural young people considers leaving due to limited opportunities, lack of services, and social isolation. To address this, the EU Strategy for Generational Renewal in Agriculture sets out a comprehensive framework to make farming and rural life more attractive for younger generations.
The EU CAP Seminar will translate this Strategy into concrete actions at national and regional levels, by promoting dialogue, strengthening partnerships, and sharing good practices to meet the needs of rural youth and young farmers.
To achieve this, the event will concentrate on priorities that drive change, including access to land, farm succession, skills and innovation, rural attractiveness, and youth as policy co-designers. Through plenary sessions and Youth-Led Policy Labs, participants will collaborate on practical solutions to help young people stay and thrive in rural Europe.
