In this diploma thesis, the main topic is encouraging the entry of young people into agriculture in the European Union. Considering the economic situation and the state of European agriculture, the European Union and the Republic of Croatia as a member need more (young) farmers. The paper therefore covers issues related to the young population in the EU, such as youth employment, youth policy and the European youth strategy. Also, in the paper, the agricultural policy of the EU is defined as the basis of the development of every agricultural activity, as evidenced by the presented statistical data. Namely, young people in Europe have the opportunity to access numerous grants and programs of the European Union from which it is possible to get grants by applying to current tenders. Financing is one of the most important factors for young farmers who have just decided to enter the business world and do not have enough financial resources. The purpose of the research was to explain in a simple way the available EU funds, measures and tenders intended mostly for young farmers in the EU and the Republic of Croatia. The aim of the research was to present various options for young farmers and young people in general in the European Union from which they can benefit and to explain them in more detail. The target group on which the research was carried out through in-depth interviews were young farmers who had the right to finance investments as part of the mentioned measure, and six respondents participated in the research. The author reached the mentioned respondents through personal contacts, and the interview itself was conducted by telephone in the period from February 16 to February 21, 2023. Users answered 14 questions in which they expressed their motives for applying, their experience during the competition and their satisfaction after receiving the funds.
