Abstract: After focusing on restructuring the agricultural sector from 1970 to 2000, French policy for helping farmers set up now faces the challenge of renewing the workforce. This article presents a typology of farmers who received the young farmer grant (dotation jeune agriculteur [DJA]), based on the example of the Puy-de-Dôme department (France). An analysis of applications for this grant (between 2007 and 2017) reveals increasingly contrasting profiles. On the one hand, young single farmers, setting up within a family context on livestock farms, are still in the majority. On the other, new types of farmers, namely from outside the family context, who have chosen less common types of production and small-scale farming, are on the increase, as has the number of women. Projects are dominated by expansion and modernisation. There is still limited recourse to salaried workers, and farm managers are increasingly opting for partnership farming.‪
