Guidance Agrarian nature management

Index Agrarian nature management section


The European Union contributes significantly to rural development and the funds involved are used for sustainable agriculture, nature and landscape conservation, and water management. Agrarian nature management also falls into this category. Management agreements have been concluded for some 60% of the area earmarked for agrarian nature management. Participation in agrarian nature management is highest among dairy farms in the west of the country. The subsidies for many farms are quite low and make only a marginal contribution to the family income.
