The system in an agricultural operation is complex. The farm and the private family are closely intertwined. The farm combines sources of income, the workplace, and the private living area. Numerous practical examples show that even the most complex situations hold a solution within them. In Austria, around 4,000 farmers give up their operations or lease their land each year. In Switzerland, there are four farms lost per day, and in Germany, the transfer of farms is only secured in thirty percent of cases. Is the transfer of the farm still worthwhile? How can the generational change be successfully managed? Mediation can strengthen small-scale and family-run agricultural businesses. In addition to tax savings, business growth and the acceptance of those involved are paramount. It is also important that the participants, especially the relinquishing heirs, are considered.
