Access to land is still one of the main obstacles for young people who want to start or develop an agricultural activity.
To support generational change and promote new entrepreneurial paths in rural areas, there's the call Generazione Terra, promoted by ISMEA.
It is an important tool that allows young people to buy agricultural land through subsidized financing conditions, contributing to the economic and social development of the territories.
Who is it for?
The announcement is intended for young people aged between 18 and 41 years old, which want to:
• start a new agricultural business
• extend the business surface
• improve the competitiveness of the company
• strengthen the economic sustainability of agricultural activity
They can participate both aspiring agricultural entrepreneurs (startuppers) and young farmers already active, according to specific requirements provided for by the announcement.
What finances
Generazione Terra supports the purchase of agricultural land through long-term financing with subsidized conditions, facilitating access to land ownership and favoring structural investments.
This allows beneficiaries to:
• plan business development in the medium-long term
• improve the economic size of the company
• invest in innovation and sustainability
• strengthen competitiveness in the market
When to submit the application
Applications can be submitted starting at 12.00 on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, opening date of the telematic counter, until 12.00 on Friday 19 June 2026.
Given the competitive nature of the procedure, it is strongly recommended to prepare the application in time, verifying the access requirements and preparing all the necessary documentation.
An opportunity to build the future of the territory
Investing in agriculture means contributing to the valorization of local resources, to the protection of the rural landscape and the creation of new employment opportunities for young people.
Tools such as Generazione Terra represent strategic levers to make rural areas more dynamic, attractive and sustainable, counteracting the phenomena of depopulation and favoring the development of new companies.
