A stormy storm – like between the poles of global competition and the small-scaled, currently none-competitive farm structure in Austria. Ongoing structural transformation and generational change set everything in motion – alike the mighty currents in the oceans.
Until 2030 the number of farmers retrieving from active operations cumulates to 21,000 and hence an area of 260,000 hectares (64,000 acres) is at disposal. More than half of it in Lower Austria. This converts to a transaction volume of 5 – 7 billion Euros or a greening area between Earth and Moon of 6.8m width and 380,000km length.
VEDAXS supports investors, agricultural entrepreneurs, landlords, public players and next generation farmers to better tackle global competition and generational change and to growth with us.
