2026-07-22

CEJA, the European Council of Young Farmers, is a non-profit organisation active for 66 years and whose mission is to carry the voice of Europe’s next generation of farmers to EU decision-makers, stakeholders and the general public. The organisation represents over two million young people, willing to become or already farmers. For the year 2025, the organisation is putting forward the BELYF 2025 project, “Boosting and Empowering Leadership for Young Farmers”. The project aims to: (1) connect European young farmers and rural youths by reshaping and ensuring internal communications and the modalities of involvement of CEJA’s membership; (2) continue to empower young farmers’ representatives to boost their individual and collective capacity to take their lives In their own hands and make meaningful change; (3) engage with EU decision-makers, stakeholders and the general public to raise awareness on the needs and challenges of young farmers and support policy reform. Four Key Areas are designed to support the organisation in the achievement of its objectives: (1) Project management and coordination, (2) Capacity-building, (3) Support for policy reform and (4) Communication, dissemination and visibility.
