Young farmers can count on more funding

Despite less money – EUR 373 billion – from the CAP, the 2014-2020 period brings considerable funding for young farmers: they will receive 3-4 percent of the total sum. In the last few years young farmers could get access to subsidies with fewer points scored, but this step resulted in many of them getting money for projects which turned out to be unsustainable. In the 2007-2013 1,200-1,300 farmers had to pay back the subsidies.
