WELCOME TO FARM SUCCESS

Family farms represent an important resource throughout Europe that helps to improve the social, economic and cultural sustainability of rural areas.

A crucial phase for the further development and success of family farms is the succession phase. This phase is at the same time both a chance and a challenge for the farm and all family members involved.

The Farm Success project aims to prepare you as a young farmer to take over the family farm and assume full responsibility for the farming business.

Even if succession phases seem to last too long, our primary aim is not to speed up the process but to improve its quality through a smart and appropriate actions of the part of the young farmer.

For this reason, we are providing you a set of comprehensive training materials including:
