Structural change in agriculture due to demographic processes | Agrarstruktureller Wandel als Folge demographischer Prozesse

Fasterding, Ferdinand
German. Whether one fears future farm closings due to a lack of successors or expressly advocates agricultural structural changes, the manner in which these changes can be expected to take place is of interest to agricultural policy. For this reason, a method was used to study structural changes which allows conclusions to be drawn about the occupational mobility of people involved in farm occupations and frequency tables were used to make projections about the number of farms in the area of the former Federal Republic of Germany. On the basis of these projections, an increasing decline of the number of the number of farms, exceeding the expectations of only a few years ago, is indicated. In addition, the significance of multi-job-holding will presumably increase.
