European farmers' intentions to invest in 2014-2020: survey results

The present study aims to analyse farmers’ intentions to invest in the period 2014-2020, focussing on investments in land, buildings, machinery and equipment, training, and quotas and production rights. It provides up-to-date information on EU farm investment patterns that is not otherwise available in traditional agricultural statistics (such as Farm Accountancy Data Network or the Eurostat Farm Structure Survey). Use of the data in this study contributes to the general understanding of the determinants of investment decisions and farmers’ reaction to EU Agricultural policy.JRC.J.4-Agriculture and Life Sciences in the Econom
