Ecosystem support aims to mitigate climate change and adapt to change, promote the efficient management of natural resources and protect biodiversity.
Eco-scheme support is paid to farmers for plant cover during winter and the cultivation of nature management grasslands, green manure grasslands and biodiversity crops throughout the country. Eco-scheme support is an annually applied area-related aid.
You can apply for the support in the Vipu service in May–June when applying for field subsidies.
You may receive the support if you are an active farmer and you implement eco-scheme support measures. The smallest plot of land, for which the support can be paid, is 0.05 hectares.
