Highlights: There are several countries analysed in this chapter – but I picked Ireland for the country question as was not an option to select n/a or multiple countries. Also when completing this form I tried to have all the 10 cases analysed in mind so I selected answers based on their different characteristics.

D6.3 Quantitative analysis of land holdings abd land market trends – Åland Islands

Section title:  5.1.1.3 Åland Islands

Highlights:
The Leauge of Nations specified in 1921: ‘When landed estate situated in the Aaland Islands is sold to a person who is not domiciled in the Islands, any person legally domiciled in the Islands, or the Council of the province, or the commune in which the estate is situated, has the right to buy the estate at a price which, failing agreement, shall be fixed by the court of first instance (Häradsrätt) having regard to current prices.’ (League of Nations, 1921, 701). This is still the legal situation and its consequences are discussed in the context of today.

D6.3 Quantitative analysis of land holdings abd land market trends – Alentejo

Section title:  5.1.2.2 Alentejo

Highlights:
Alentejo has a history of large farms with many landless labourers who lived in poor conditions. Although Alentejo is dominated by large scale latifundia type of farms, there are smaller areas with smaller scale farms. The Alentejo NUTS 3 regions have very high scores on the EEA (2019) defined land cover flow ‘withdrawal from farming’ between 2000 and 2018. Baixo Alentejo has (with 25,185 hectares) the highest withdrawal from farming score of all NUTS 3 regions in the EU. These high dynamics in land uses are not being reflected by a high dynamic on the land market. Furthermore, due to mechanisation there is no need any more for farmworkers, so the area is facing population decline. The Alentejo region shows that large changes in land use do not always have the consequence that unequal relationships will be addressed. It is just that landowners take decisions to exploit their lands in other ways. In many of these regions, there has been a large outflux of population, which implies that new beginnings may provide new opportunities for novel types of farmers. However, access to land is not easy in this context. Having alternative farming styles without much emphasis on boosting production also means that market powers on the land market are limited.

Up to 2013 Aosta scored high on Quality of Government indicators. This changed dramatically recently. Research shows that young people experiencing a before and after the crisis dialectic. It shows the fragility of rural regions.

D6.3 Quantitative analysis of land holdings abd land market trends – Bulgaria

Section title: 5.1.4.1 Bulgaria (BG424 Smolyan; BG425 Kardzhali)

Highlights:
The Bulgarian regions of Smolyan and Kardzhali are located in the South-Central region of Bulgaria. In a comparative paper, Doitchinova et al. (2018) compare the development in this South-Central region with the development of less-mountainous regions in North-West of Bulgaria, which includes regions as Montana, Vidin and Vratsa. In regions as Smolyan traditional family farms having mixed crops staid dominant in the agrarian structure. In the North West, however, ‘modernization’ took place at a large scale through the processes of (1) intensification, (2) specialization and (3) concentration (Doitchinova et al., 2018). Modernisation has been supported by CAP funding. Based on the comparison of Doitchinova et al. (2018) it can be concluded that the CAP is not only supporting the development of the reverse land market of few powerful tenants and many small owners in the less mountainous areas of the Bulgarian Northwest, but this development seems not to contribute towards a more sustainable rural development. Areas that are not following the path towards scale enlargement, perform better in rural development, than areas that modernize supported by the EU instruments. Source: Doitchinova, J., I.
