Eco-scheme Subsidy: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how farmers can earn financial rewards for performing extra green activities through the Eco-scheme Subsidy.
The Eco-scheme Subsidy is a program designed to reward farmers who go above and beyond standard environmental requirements.
Who it's for
This scheme is for farmers who perform additional green activities that exceed the baseline environmental rules already in place.
What you get
You can receive a financial reward for every hectare of land you manage. The amount you receive depends on whether you achieve bronze, silver, or gold status through your environmental activities.
What it costs you
While there is no direct fee to join, it requires your time and effort to manage detailed activity tracking and to submit the necessary evidence to prove you have met the requirements.
The catch to know
The points system used to determine your status changes every year. You should use the official calculator to check the current requirements before you begin planting.
How to apply
- Determine which green activities you can perform on your land.
- Use the official calculator to see which status level you might reach.
- Track your activities and gather evidence as required.
- Submit your details through the official portal.
