The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food grants aid of 1.79 million euros to 1,194 agricultural holdings of shared ownership, which will receive the maximum amount for 2025 of 1,500 per entity, before the end of the year, according to final resolution Published in electronic headquarters.
The purpose of this support is to help pay the Social Security contributions of the holders of agricultural holdings of shared ownership, a figure regulated by Law 35/2011, of shared ownership, to favor the participation of women in agricultural activity and guarantee equal rights and obligations within family holdings.
The Secretary of State for Agriculture and Food, Begoña García Bernal, has stressed that these subsidies represent shared ownership: “It’s not an administrative procedure: it’s justice. It recognizes the work that women have been doing on farms for decades and gives them effective rights.”
García Bernal stressed that a greater presence of women in agricultural activity “strengthens the productive fabric, gives stability to the people and makes the sector stronger”, and reiterated that equality “is an essential condition for the future of the rural environment”.
