The main goal of the paper is to provide insights into the family succession processes in terms of the first inter-generational renewal that has been re-started in the Czech agricultural sector.

Such a framework includes the “farm succession gap” that has resulted from the long-term societal changes and that is still reflected in the ongoing succession processes.
