  • Young Farmers' Perceptions of Sustainability in a Wine Region in Hungary

However, agricultural modernization and land concentration have resulted in a decreasing role of agriculture in rural societies everywhere in Europe and also in Hungary. Governmental funds and agendas increasingly focus on the regeneration of rural areas with a special interest in the new generations of farmers. This paper analyses a small wine region in Hungary to explore the perceptions and activities of young farmers regarding sustainability. The paper is based on qualitative sociological research, including 20 semi-structured interviews with wine producers and other key actors of rural development in the region. The analysis focuses on generational change both in wine producer farms and in the wine region. How do farmers approach sustainability, and how does the concept of sustainability contribute to family wine production? How can generational Citation: Csizmady, A.; Csurgó, B.; change affect farming approaches and activities, especially changes toward a more sustainable way Kerényi, S.; Balázs, A.; Kocsis, V.; of farming? Our results show that rural regeneration can be understood not only as a generational Palaczki, B.

  • Project Youinherit, Interreg Central Europe 2014–2020*1
    DOI: 10.21858/msr.26.08 Project YouInHerit, Interreg Central Europe 2014–2020*1 Project YouInHerit is financed through the INTERREG Central Europe 2014-2020 Programme. Revival of old trades and crafts which can keep together communities and make them sustainable by contributing to their economic wellbeing is the main focus of the project: old wine cellars in Hungary, salt pans or traditional pottery in Slovenia, breweries in Poland, old boats of Italy or olive groves in Croatia are essential for local attractiveness and could be better exploited as a source of living for people. Activities of YouInHerit project are divided among regions, with common goal of promoting cultural diversity and strengthening communities while enhancing local potentials of cultural heritage and human creativity. Involvement of local communities, especially youth, which represents hidden potential of economic development, and providing help regarding adaptation towards new demands and market expectation based on local tradition and culture are the main focus of YouInHerit project. Partners participating in the project are regions, municipalities, agencies and public institutions from 5 European countries (12 institutions participating in the project in total). Overall budget of the project is 2.505.903,35 euros. On 12th October 2018 a newly designed “Public Scale House”, restored as the pilot activity of this project, was opened in Vodnjan-Dignano, Croatia. With the restoration of the “Public Scale House” and the opening of the Training Center for Young Olive oil Producers, a training and educational space for young olive growers was created, who now have the possibility to become part of the community of motivated and successful entrepreneurs and promoters of the local cultural heritage products.
