More importantly, those new opportunities, if combined with entrepreneurship approaches and practices that take effectiveness and efficiency into account, can become a source of high incomes for farmers especially when considering that the EU27 real agricultural income per worker has increased by 1.0% in 2012, after an increase of 8.0% in To this end, FarmsUP!
