Learn how farmers in Switzerland can receive grants to cover a portion of the costs for precision farming hardware and digital equipment.
This grant helps farmers offset the costs of purchasing high-tech hardware used for precision farming.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for farmers who are investing in digital equipment and precision farming hardware to modernize their operations.
What you get
If approved, you can receive a grant that covers a portion of your digital equipment costs, specifically up to 30% of the total price.
What it costs you
While the grant provides financial support, you must be able to provide proof that the new hardware is technically compatible with your existing farm systems.

To qualify, you cannot simply buy new gear; you must demonstrate that the technology will lead to clear improvements in either your farm's efficiency or its environmental impact.
How to apply

- Verify that the equipment is compatible with your current farm systems.
- Prepare evidence showing how the tech improves efficiency or environmental standards.
