Næringsutvikling i landbruket – tilskot til inspirasjonssamlingar

Vestland fylkeskommune offers grants to municipalities and business development companies working on behalf of municipalities to organize inspiration gatherings for farmers to develop their farm operations. The gatherings aim to provide broader insight into possible business activities on farms, inspire through showcasing what others have achieved, identify new potential for business operations on their own farms, and provide information about financial support schemes. The gatherings can be large or small single meetings, or a series of meetings over time. This grant is part of the Regional facilitation measures in agriculture and follows up on the 2026 annual plan's main priority in the agricultural theme plan. The program emphasizes collaboration with relevant partners, planning for follow-up of participants, and geographic distribution of activities throughout the county. Projects focusing on converting from stall to free-range livestock housing are not part of this call, as farmers already have good access to information and assistance for this process. The grant is intended to motivate farmers to develop their operations through knowledge sharing and collaboration between municipalities, professional organizations, and policy actors.
