LAND MOBILITY
What is it?
LAND-MOBILITY aims to promote initiatives and innovative concepts surrounding land mobility in European Union countries. The project team will do so by developing training materials and guidelines for landowners, farmers, authorities and advisors in the area of land mobility services, land management partnerships and farm take-over brokerage.
How will we achieve our goals?
This project will provide information on how to set up national or regional land mobility services, provide training materials on brokerage and matchmaking roles, inform, educate and train about what potential land mobility initiatives are out there which may help agricultural demographic crisis and how involved institutions can implement them in their own regions or countries.
Why is it important?
The interest in agricultural jobs, and farming specifically, has seen a steady decline leaving farmers with little options for successors. In turn, there are a number of younger farmers who have the skills necessary to take on the job but do not have the means and land to do so. LAND MOBILITY was developed to join these two groups together and ultimately, ensure land in Europe is kept as much as possible in sustainable ownership and is not subject to land abandonment, and so that land becomes a tool for empowerment and entrepreneurship for Europeans rather than an obstacle to it.
