farmers. EU countries tailor their measures to national conditions in their <a href="/cap-my-country/cap-strategic-plans_en" class="ecl-link">CAP Strategic Plans</a>.</p> <h3>Combination of several interventions</h3> <p>Strategies to benefit young farmers generally involve combining several interventions or actions including:</p> <ul> <li>the Complementary Income Support for Young Farmers (CISYF),</li> <li>installation of young farmers, new farmers and rural business start-ups.</li> </ul> <h3>Direct payments</h3> <p>EU countries must dedicate an amount corresponding to at least 3% of their direct payments budget to support young farmers. This support may be granted as income support, investment support or start-up aid for young farmers (only 50% of relevant investment support would be counted towards this target).</p> <h3>Complementary income support for young farmers (CISYF)</h3> <p>The CISYF is a voluntary scheme under direct payments providing enhanced income support to young farmers who are newly set up for the first time and who are entitled to basic income support. The support is granted in the form of an annual payment per eligible hectare or annual lump sum.</p> <h3>National policies</h3> <p>National factors can have an impact on generational renewal (for example access to land and succession legislations). EU countries are thus required to examine the interplay between national policies (including tax relief schemes, farmers’ pension schemes, loan schemes, regulatory measures related to land lease, purchase or inheritance) and CAP interventions and measures to ensure consistency between all of the actions.</p> <h3>Rural development actions for young farmers</h3> <p>In addition, <a href="/common-agricultural-policy/rural-development_en" class="ecl-link">rural development</a> interventions that can be included in CAP Strategic Plans for the 2023-27 period provide additional opportunities to help young farmers get started:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Installation of young farmers, new farmers and rural business start-ups</strong>: this is a voluntary type of intervention by EU countries under CAP 2023-27 rural development funds, which aims to provide immediate start-up support to farmers and businesses.</li> <li><strong>Cooperation schemes</strong>: in the context of farm succession, this applies in particular for generational renewal at farm level.</li> </ul> <p>Young farmers can benefit from investment support and create or join producer organisations to strengthen their market and economic situation.</p> <p>CAP Strategic Plans for the 2023-27 period can include help to develop rural businesses and advice on how to best enter farming.</p></div> </div> <div class="ecl-u-mb-2xl"> <a id="paragraph_4072"></a> <article class="ecl-featured-item" ><div class="ecl-featured-item__container"><div class="ecl-featured-item__item"><div class="ecl-featured-item__title"><span class="ecl-featured-item__title-content">Support for young farmers in EU countries</span></div><div class="ecl-featured-item__description"><div class="ecl"><p>Young farmers in the EU can apply for CAP support to the managing authorities, which are listed in their country’s national CAP Strategic Plan.
