摘要
Recent surveys on rural demographics in the US, Japan and the European Union reveal an ever aging farmer population. The average age of farmers in the US is now 58 years, and 67 years in Japan. More than one third of European farmers are older than 65-technically retired, whereas less than 5% of farmers in analyzed countries are younger than 35-years-old! All OECD countries show similar trends. Consequently, this question begs to be asked: who will grow our food?
