Agro-environmental and Climate Measures: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Farmers can receive annual compensation for adopting eco-friendly practices through a long-term environmental contract.
This scheme provides financial support to farmers who commit to specific environmental protections through multi-year contracts.
Who it's for
This program is designed for farmers who are willing to sign a five-year environmental contract.
What you get
If you participate, you will receive annual compensation for implementing specific eco-friendly farming practices on your land.
What it costs you
While there is no direct fee to join, you must commit to rigorous record-keeping. You will need to maintain detailed logs of all your farming inputs and the specific practices you use to prove you are meeting the contract requirements.
The catch to know
The commitment is strict. If you fail to meet your targets in any single year, you may be required to pay back the entirety of the contract payments.
How to apply
- Review the specific environmental practices required for your area.
- Prepare your records for current farming inputs and methods.
- Contact your local agricultural authorities to discuss a five-year contract.
- Submit your application for review by the relevant ministry.
