Tilskudd til spesielle miljøtiltak i jordbruket (SMIL-tilskudd)

SMIL-tilskuddet (Special Environmental Measures in Agriculture Grant) is a state-funded subsidy program administered by Bergen municipality to promote nature and cultural heritage values in agricultural landscapes and reduce pollution beyond what is expected through normal agricultural operations. The program supports project planning, measures that preserve natural and cultural heritage values in agricultural landscapes, and initiatives that help prevent or reduce pollution. This is a national program where municipalities receive an annual allocation from the state, and applications are prioritized according to the available funding each year. Bergen municipality has established specific priority guidelines for SMIL applications approved by the City Council.
