Dynamics of land redistribution among farmers in small areas

Abstract

At regional level, farms are disappearing and releasing land, production quotas (milk quotas) and subsidies (dairy farm subsidies, sheep farm subsidies, etc.), most of which are being taken over by remaining farms. What are the factors associated with the farms and their socio-economic environment, which are causing the farms to disappear and release production facilities? How are these production facilities redistributed among the remaining farms? Who benefits? What are the consequences for land occupation? The answers to these questions can define an approach and decision making tools for the government or local authorities who, at local and departmental levels, are involved in the redistribution of the land and the restructuring of farms.
