RMP-tilskudd (Regionalt miljøtilskudd)

The Regional Environmental Subsidy (RMP-tilskudd) is a comprehensive funding program for agricultural environmental measures in Vestfold and Telemark counties in Norway. The program provides financial support for 32 different environmental initiatives in agriculture, including measures that promote environmental goods, reduce environmental impacts, and support sustainable farming practices. For the 2025 application round, Vestfold and Telemark had NOK 96.3 million available for distribution, with a portion earmarked for water environment measures to follow up on comprehensive action plans for the Oslofjord. Farmers who are entitled to production subsidies can apply for these environmental subsidies in addition to their regular production support when they make extra efforts for the environment or cultural landscape. The program covers a wide range of activities including management of steep slopes, grazing of valuable agricultural landscapes, maintenance of cultural heritage sites, reduction of runoff to water bodies, reduction of air emissions, plant protection measures, and soil health initiatives.
