Abstract
All over the world governments face the question of how to make sure that sufficient new capital is invested in new technology and entrepreneurship in domestic agriculture. Do markets provide incentives for such investment? When do established farmers or young farmers feel safe enough to invest?

Are our farmers not farmers because there are just no alternatives for them—that is, they are not “farmers by default”?
