Are you a farmer in the Netherlands? Do you grow durable, nutritious, safe and affordable food? You may supplement your income with subsidies from the common agricultural policy (Gemeenschappelijk landbouwbeleid, GLB) subsidy programme.

These conditions encourage farmers to adhere to the EU standards for safe, healthy and affordable food while also rewarding them for doing so sustainably. The direct payments make farming sustainably more profitable while guaranteeing food security across Europe.
The programme consists of 3 main pillars found in each EU member state, with optional additional subsidy schemes:
How to apply
You can apply for the direct payment subsidies from the GLB to the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO, in Dutch) until 15 May 2023. This new GLB programme (in Dutch) offers more rewards for future-proof farmers.
