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.

The electricity support scheme for agricultural and greenhouse enterprises provides financial support to active agricultural enterprises, greenhouse operations, and irrigation associations to compensate for extraordinary electricity costs. The scheme aims to help maintain Norwegian food production in agriculture and greenhouse production during periods of high electricity prices. Support is calculated based on electricity consumption, with different formulas for agricultural enterprises, greenhouse enterprises, and irrigation associations. Agricultural enterprises receive support for electricity costs in agricultural production and household consumption not already covered by other electricity support schemes. Greenhouse enterprises can receive support for electricity costs related to cultivation. Irrigation associations can receive support for electricity costs related to irrigation of agricultural land.

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 provides subsidies to finance activities for the further development of other agriculture-based businesses. The program is offered by Innovation Norway (Innovasjon Norge) and targets owners of agricultural properties who wish to develop agricultural or reindeer husbandry-based enterprises. The funding is provided as a subsidy on a rolling application basis, allowing applicants to submit proposals throughout the year. The grant covers up to 50% of approved costs for eligible development activities in agriculture-based sectors. Recipients must adhere to principles of responsible business practices and maintain awareness of their own sustainability risks. The program operates under state aid regulations (GBER) and has been notified to the EFTA Surveillance Authority (ESA).
