    Summary

    Farmers and especially the young ones who like to be innovative, needed their own platform for exchanging ideas or thoughts, an opportunity to learn from each other and to have inspiring virtual and/or real meetings.

    The Austrian chambers of agriculture, supported by the rural development programme for Austria, developed the online platform ‘My Farm-My Way’ to connect “Agripreneurs” and innovative business enterprises in agriculture and forestry. At the same time the website acts as a source of information by for instance offering information about farms that are open for study visits to those who wish to get access to new practices or processes.

    Results

    • By the end of 2017, already 104 farms had been listed and are active as partners for innovation.
    • The Webpage got 30 028 hits from July to October 2017, 91% of all visitors coming from Austria.
