“…However, with current trends, there is a need for more insight in non-family farm holding arrangements. This paper focuses on young immigrant farmers to gain more insight in non-family farm holding arrangements, and we analyse how such arrangements may compensate for key resources that often are a natural part of family succession (Pérez et al 2020) but lacking in non-family farm establishment.…”

The opportunities available to start up a successful farm business structure the future of European farming. As fewer farm daughters and sons are projected to take over the family farm, there is increasing policy and academic interest in new entrants and the challenges they meet when they start their farm. This study focuses on new entrants that immigrate to Sweden. This group can be considered an extreme case of new entrants, as key resources (land, local networks, family labour support and farm specific knowledge are usually lacking for these farmers). Based on interviews with immigrant farmers in the Mälardalen region, we present the different ways they get access to economic, cultural and social capital. These insights are valuable for policy aimed at helping immigrant farmers starting up.

“…There needs to be an effort by the local government to shift the position of this subsector into a leading or mainstay sector with various strategies that can be carried out. For example, the provision of guidance in each region based on existing potential and increasing various training, especially for young breeders (Pérez, Sendra, & Gelats, 2020), as well as increasing the efficiency of the livestock sector through sustainable intensification practices (Herrero et al, 2013). Basically, competitive advantage and agricultural potential in an area can affect the growth of the general agricultural sector.…”

The descriptive-analytical method is used to describe and explain the dynamical performance of each sub-sector. The sub-sector performance is represented by GRDP of Bangka Belitung Province and GDP of Indonesia based on constant prices in 2010 for the 2010-2020 periods. Analysis of Klassen Typology, Location Quotient (LQ), and Dynamic Location Quotient (DLQ) are conducted to determine the sub-sector and its position among other sub-sectors. The analysis results show that the plantation crop is a leading sub-sector priority for the economic development in the Bangka Belitung Province.

“…The European Union's Young Farmers Survey limited the age of its respondents to 35 [3]. In other studies on rural youth, this group has been defined as individuals between 18 and 40 years of age [34,35]. In medical studies, youth are often defined as individuals aged between 10 and 24 years [36].…”

Global agriculture is facing an aging workforce and successor crisis, while the degradation of rural youths’ agricultural skills, which is indeed a concrete manifestation of young agricultural labor loss, has received little attention. Based on data from 1902 questionnaires in rural Southwest China, this study draws on a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the degradation of their skills to deepen the insights into the relationship between rural youth and agriculture. We found that rural youth have much lower agricultural skills than rural middle-aged and elderly residents, and their agricultural skills vary depending on gender, age, and occupation. Rural young non-agricultural workers’ large proportion among rural youth and low skills are the main sources of the reduction in rural youths’ skills. According to ordered logistic regression analysis, rural young non-agricultural workers who are older, have less education per person in their household, and have a larger cultivated land size have higher skills. As for rural students, 65.44% of the rural students have no skills, age and family’s agricultural income are significant positive influencing factors of their agricultural skills, and female youth have higher agricultural skills. The results provide references for policymakers to formulate targeted policies to cultivate rural young agricultural successors.
