Family farms are a dominant business model in Europe and play a significant role in the food and agricultural systems, promoting inclusivity, sustainability, resilience, and efficiency. However, they face challenges such as decreasing numbers, structural and societal issues, demanding workload with low pay, and denigration of the farming profession. Despite these challenges, younger generations show enthusiasm for farming, driven by a desire for stimulating and environmentally conscious work. To ensure the sustainability of family farms, many are diversifying their activities, embracing entrepreneurial spirit, and seeking a balance between traditional practices and modern innovations.
