D5.2 Case studies and factsheets of 30 promising practices – Farma Martynika (PL2A)

Section title: Farma Martynika (PL2A) – 2A

Sub-section/paragraph: Case 2 A

Highlights: Martynika is an eco-touristic farm established in 2013 in the village of Jaroszówka (Poland) by a pair of newcomers from the city of Warsaw. Given their experience in business and pedagogy, they decided to renovate the farmhouse and set up an agricultural and agritourism business offering additionally a wide range of workshops (for children and adults). In practice, the agricultural activity proved to be more challenging than the owners had anticipated so they focused on the development of agro-tourism and workshops, some of which are closely related to rural life, e.g. permaculture, preparing for rural life, and also ceramics, stove-making, and recycling workshops. An important aspect of Martynika Farm is the strong focus on ecology, both in terms of workshops and the agricultural production and way of life. As of now the hosts are focusing on returning to active farming of organic crops, especially important are the preparations on how to distribute and sell. An important conclusion from the analysis of this practice is that starting agricultural production by new entrants is very difficult and requires very good preparation. A good solution is, as the owners of Martinique did, to prepare an alternative, plan-B path to earn money in the countryside.

Section title: Maximising Organic Production Systems (MOPS) – 1B

D5.2 Case studies and factsheets of 30 promising practices – Promising Practice on the UK Farmstart Network and New Entrants

Section title: Case 1A (T5.2 Case study report: Promising Practice on the UK Farmstart Network and New Entrants)

Highlights:
The Farmstart Network, identified as one of 30 ‘promising practices’ by the RURALIZATION project, is a collaboration between the Land Workers’ Alliance (LWA) and some of its member organisations who are running ‘farm-start’ or ‘farm-incubation’ projects to develop best practice and increase opportunities for new entrants into sustainable agriculture. Whilst the precise set-up of the Farmstart schemes differ between members, they typically involve a supported space for new entrants to further grow their skills and test out ideas before taking on the full financial, legal and business responsibilities of an agricultural enterprise (Land Workers’ Alliance, n.d.). Drawing on desk research, interviews, a focus group and feedback from a public conference of key stakeholders, this case study report details the context from which the Farmstart Network emerged, the actors involved and their main activities, and the networks and support which have made possible any impacts this ‘promising practice’ has had on rural regeneration and generational renewal.

D5.2 Case studies and factsheets of 30 promising practices – Remote work as a promising practice to attract newcomers to rural areas.

Section title: Remote work as a promising practice to attract newcomers to rural areas.

Highlights: The rural development pathway is not quite about rural-urban relations but connecting rural areas to areas outside of them. They could be urban areas, but also other rural areas. The ‘type of action’ is hard to classify. The Grow Remote organisation is the network/collective action aspect, but also ticked other as this is also an individual action where newcomers work remotely.
