Spesielle miljøtiltak i jordbruket (SMIL)

The SMIL funding program (Special Environmental Measures in Agriculture) aims to preserve natural and cultural heritage values in the agricultural landscape and reduce pollution from agriculture. The program provides grants for cultural landscape measures, planning and facilitation measures, and pollution reduction measures. Eligible activities include projects that improve public access to cultural landscapes through trails and paths, preserve biological diversity and old cultural landscapes, and protect cultural heritage and monuments in agricultural areas. The program is administered by Fjord kommune and requires that projects be connected to a registered agricultural property with active production eligible for production subsidies.
