The Generation Renewal subsidy scheme aims to ensure the smooth and successful transfer of operational farms from one generation to the next. By supporting the continued operation and development of competitive agricultural holdings, the scheme contributes to maintaining and strengthening the overall competitiveness of the agricultural sector.
Generational renewal is promoted by encouraging younger farmers to take over holdings from farmers approaching retirement age. The scheme provides targeted support to both the incoming farmer (transferee) and the outgoing farmer (transferor), with initial funding designed to support the long-term viability of the farm.
Subsidy intensity: 100%
Maximum subsidy amount: Up to EUR 170,000, depending on the size of the holding
Form of support: Non-repayable grant
Scope of support includes:
- Pre-qualification and eligibility assessment
- Support for all required preparatory steps to ensure a complete and compliant application
