This report presents the findings of the EIP-AGRI Focus Group (FG) on New Entrants to Farming: lessons to foster innovation and entrepreneurship, which was established under the European Innovation Partnership Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability (EIP-AGRI). New entrants are widely recognised as important to the ongoing vitality and competitiveness of the agricultural sector and rural regions in Europe, but very little has been formally published about this group. The FG brought together 20 experts from across Europe to compile the existing practical, educational and academic information available on new entrants to farming, focusing primarily on new entrants with limited prior experience in agriculture.
