3. Landgilde www.landgilde.nl Questions before Selection like a
‘job interview’

4. Farm transfer checklist: starting document.
BOTH FILL OUT! BEFORE AND TOGETHER. For example…..
What are the values of your farm you want to pass on? What would you like to be different about your farm, but you never got round to?
What are the new values of the farm? What is built on existing values, what is a new value you would add?
Who lives where and when? At what cost?

5. Webstats:

600 unique visitors/month

8. Why a matching platform? Farming in the Netherlands
farms, 30 ha, variation large
3% reduction/year, upscaling
40% farmers over 55 years of age, 70% successor
capital requirements (land easily € /ha)

9. We see changes… increase farm size and multifunctional: complex
business = pension older farmer, capital needed
in family  non-family transfer: living
work ethic & soil fertility

10. Matching platform Landgilde aimed at organic farmers (and ml)
Why?
More non-family (Warmonderhof school 50%)
More outside capital, start ups
25 to 50% multifunctional (13% regular)

11. Landgilde Found it helps to:
Take it in steps
Distuingish between exploitation and capital required
Need to talk about it: article, conference, brochure, workshops
