Abstract

The number of farmers in the European Union is gradually declining due to weak incentives, especially for the younger generation, to work in agriculture. State intervention is therefore essential for the preservation of farms in the form of legal regulation of succession as well as the creation of a supportive environment for successor entities to be able to continue agricultural production effectively. The aim of this paper is therefore to assess the sustainability potential of agricultural holdings on the basis of an analysis of the legislation on the succession and transfer of agricultural land holdings to physical and legal persons. In this article, we used traditional legal methods of examining legal regulations based on grammatical, logical, systematic, and teleological interpretations. The results show that in Slovakia there is currently no specific legal regulation by the state that would address the succession of agricultural land and agricultural enterprises in a targeted manner.
