ABSTRACT
One of the major problems in agriculture in developed countries, including Slovenia, is a reduction in the number of farm takeovers or the transfer of farms to successors. The European Union is trying to stop these negative trends through certain measures under its common agricultural policy. Slovenia, as an EU member state since 2004, is entitled to funds under these measures. This chapter analyzes the impacts of common agricultural policy on farm succession in Slovenia to date. It proves that the EU common agricultural policy measures for promoting the takeover of farms and their timely transfer to young successors have been effective and efficient in Slovenia.
