This grant program supports women-focused initiatives in reindeer husbandry in Norway. It provides funding for three main categories: value creation activities that promote women's participation in reindeer husbandry and develop innovative products and services; competence-building through courses and training where participants can acquire new knowledge, maintain or upgrade their own competence, or share knowledge with others; and the establishment, maintenance, and operation of women's networks that contribute to increased gender equality and women's status in reindeer husbandry. The program aims to strengthen women's position in the reindeer industry, preserve Sami traditions, and facilitate knowledge exchange through gatherings and courses. Applications are accepted twice per year with deadlines on April 1 and October 1. The fund is administered by the Norwegian Agriculture Agency (Landbruksdirektoratet) and funded through the Reindeer Husbandry Development Fund.

Tilskudd til klimarådgiving is a grant program offered by the Norwegian Agriculture Agency (Landbruksdirektoratet) that provides funding to agricultural enterprises for climate advisory services. The program became a separate subsidy scheme outside of Regional Environmental Subsidies (RMP) from October 15, 2025, with regulations taking effect in February 2026. The subsidy is available to agricultural enterprises that meet the requirements for receiving subsidies under the Production Subsidy and Relief Subsidy regulations and have received climate advisory services for their own agricultural production. The advisory services must follow approved advisory frameworks and result in an action plan aimed at reducing the farm's climate impact and improving its ability to adapt to climate change. The application system is currently under development and is expected to be ready during spring 2026. More information about the subsidy scheme will be published on the program website as it becomes available. Agricultural enterprises should contact their regional Statsforvalter (County Governor) for assistance with applications and questions.

Approved seed potato businesses are eligible to apply for this subsidy program.

Landbruksdirektoratet (Norwegian Agriculture Agency) is piloting two subsidy schemes for selected municipalities in Northern Norway. The first scheme provides subsidies for the operation of small plots (teiger) ranging from 1 to 10 decares, with higher rates per decare for the smallest plots. The second scheme provides subsidies for the operation of areas that were not applied for in 2024. The purpose of these subsidies is to prevent overgrowth of agricultural land and support the operation of challenging areas. Both schemes are part of a pilot program that will be tested in 2025 and continued in 2026, though the exact design for 2026 has not yet been determined. Applicants must be registered enterprises in the Norwegian Business Register that actively operate eligible areas in selected municipalities in Northern Norway and must also apply for production subsidies for the same areas.

RÅK-tilskudd is a raw material price compensation scheme for the Norwegian food processing industry. The program provides price reduction subsidies where tariff rates are insufficient to compensate for different price levels of agricultural raw materials in Norway and abroad. The scheme supports Norwegian food industry companies that produce processed agricultural products based on Norwegian-produced raw materials. Eligible products include items like pizza, confectionery, bakery products, and soups that are sold in grocery or specialty markets. The subsidy rates are updated annually based on market conditions and determined through agricultural negotiations, then approved by the Norwegian Parliament. Applicants must first obtain approved recipes for their finished products before they can apply for subsidies based on monthly sales volumes.

This is a grant program offered by the Norwegian Agriculture Agency (Landbruksdirektoratet) for agricultural enterprises that experience significant production losses due to climatic conditions. The subsidy applies to crop production failures in areas including berries, fruit, vegetables, grains, potatoes, and fodder production. To qualify, production in the damage year must be less than 70 percent of the average yield for the crop group, meaning there is a 30 percent deductible. The production failure must have a climatic cause that cannot be insured against, and applicants must have operated in a professionally sound manner. Applicants must report damage to their municipality as soon as it occurs, and the municipality will review applications before they are processed by the County Governor (statsforvalter) who makes the final decision.

This grant program supports forest fertilization as a climate measure to increase carbon uptake. Forest owners can receive up to 50% reimbursement of costs for nitrogen fertilization of forests. The program is administered by the Norwegian Agriculture Agency (Landbruksdirektoratet), while municipalities process applications and make decisions. Applications must be submitted after the fertilization has been completed and costs are documented. The fertilization must meet specific environmental requirements and the fertilization area must be mapped. This is a production and quality-enhancing measure that contributes to climate action through increased carbon sequestration in forests.

This grant supports the establishment of facilities that can produce biogas, heat, electric power, biofuels, and biochar from bio-based raw materials.
