Young farmers: putting Europe’s former El Dorado of farming back on the map
Today, our national agriculture is still recovering from a devastating Communist experiment and a chaotic transition to an industrialised economy. It has lost part of its vigour. The challenges of making a profitable business out of farming have put most of our young people off.
A group of young Romanian farmers impressed me with their courage of taking their future - and our agriculture’s future - into their own hands Marian-Jean Marinescu
Their profiles and stories spread rapidly on Facebook and the feedback we got was overwhelming: the campaign reached out to over 130,000 people
As for me, I will keep in touch with them and, who knows, maybe we will win the big prize next year! Because not only does Romanian agriculture have a future… these young farmers are its future.
We believe in people. #believeinpeople @MarianMarinescu
