Coverage of the measure
|
Norwegian Agricultural Policy and of agricultural subsidy programmes - Headage and Acreage support
|
Headage and Acreage support conditioned to certain environmental criteria (non-specified)
10.3.5 Headage and Acreage support
A major part of the budgetary support is paid within the Acreage and Agricultural Landscape Scheme, the Grazing Support Programme and the Headage Support Programme. The support is based on the size of cultivated area and the number of animals, and the support is differentiated by region, farm size and kind of animal. Certain environmental criteria have to be fulfilled in order to receive support. In animal husbandry there is a maximum level of support per farm. The maximum level of support varies according to changes in rates. In plant production the level of support is dependent on the size of cultivated area. Organic production is subject to separate support programmes.
