Family Farming in the European Union
1. This statistic (from
briefs/pdf/09_en.pdf) is based on the number of holdings held by a single
natural person, as opposed to a legal entity as in the case of a corporate farm.
However, there is no EU-wide definition of family farms as they are extremely
heterogeneous.
