Study on Public Policies for Rural Youth |
The WRF launches the study on public policies dedicated to rural youth, which aims to identify and give visibility to the tools and support measures that can contribute decisively to the maintenance and development of young people in rural areas and to the improvement of their quality of life.
The study describes some of the support measures for rural youth that have been implemented in some countries and in Europe (Chile, Australia, Canada, Uruguay and the European Union), with a special focus on the Basque Country. It integrates the views of some key actors in the sector and makes recommendations on the measures that can most effectively respond to the problems of ageing and lack of generational sustainability in family farming.
The study can be consulted at the links below, in Spanish and Basque. | | |

It is thus underlined that both organisations work together in the promotion of policy dialogue; the opening and strengthening of spaces for this policy dialogue to be inclusive - with special attention to the participation of farmers' organisations -, the development of policies and investments in family farming, in awareness-raising and advocacy activities and in technical assistance for the design and implementation of policies. For more details, we kindly invite you to consult the FAO communication on this subject on the link on the left. |
