A farmer transports crates of grapes during the harvest of Pinot Nero on August 8, 2017 at the Tenuta Castello di Neive Borgonovo, northwestern Italy. Italy's annual wine harvest, the biggest in the world, is off to its earliest start in a decade as the country swelters in a heatwave following months of drought. Winemakers have also had to contend with spring frosts and hailstorms this year and the country's agri-food agency Coldiretti is anticipating a 10-15 percent fall in volumes.

Livestock farmer and milk producer Gerard Hartveld, 52, poses next to his Red Holstein cows in his farm in Nieuwveen, on August 4, 2017. Hartveld says he is a dairy farmer in 'his heart' and soul. Yet, his heart is heavy knowing that, like many who work the land today in The Netherlands, he has no-one to inherit his family farm. The figures are staggering. Some sixty percent of those aged over 55 have no-one to whom they can bequeath their land, according to the Dutch central statistics office (CBS).
