#Farming4Future

These are five voices that tell the story of more than two million young farmers across Europe.

Five faces that tell the hardships and difficulties, but also the successes and small victories of a generation fighting tooth and nail to carry on an indispensable sector with passion and vocation.

Meet the next generation of farmers.

Meet the Farmers

Adam Nowak

“Farmers’ position in the food chain is at the moment very weak because we need more cooperation, we need to raise awareness about farmers’ market position and stronger support from national governments and EU institutions.”

Anne-Catherine Dalcq

“My cows, my countryside, my farm. It’s all the work of my great grand-parents, my grand-parents, my parents. I grew up on the farm. It’s my life. I really want to farm. So give me the opportunity to do so”.

Diana Lenzi

“Today, only 11% of farms in Europe are run by someone under the age of 40. That is a problem. Europe needs farmers. Europe needs a strong agricultural sector. We need to create those conditions to bring in a new generation of farmers”.

Doris Letina

“It’s important that we are proud of ourselves and that we share our passion with others. Not only about producing food but also raising awareness about how we are producing food and how we can do it better together. Not just us, but together with all the stakeholders, including consumers”.

Thomas Duffy

“How we can produce more by using less resources, by adapting to climate change and trying to give as much space as we can for biodiversity. It’s not an easy challenge. But it’s something that really does excite me and excites many young farmers around the world“

This is not only about agriculture and young farmers. Access to land, animal welfare, sustainability, soils, food security…

This is about the future of every one of us.
