Future-Oriented Land Use Funding Fund

The Future-Oriented Land Use Funding Fund supports nationwide initiatives in the field of environmental and nature conservation with a focus on agricultural innovations. Private individuals as well as non-profit organizations, including associations, initiatives, and artists, can continuously apply for grants to cover material and personnel costs. With a funding amount of up to €5,000 per project, idea and concept development as well as their practical implementation and subsequent evaluation are supported. The goal is the development and testing of forward-looking concepts that ensure sustainable use of soil, water resources, and biodiversity. The continuous application possibility enables flexible and timely support for development phases of projects of various sizes and formats.

The funding reimburses incurred costs for personnel and necessary material resources upon submission of appropriate receipts. This seed funding strengthens initiatives in rural areas, accelerates pilot projects, and promotes knowledge transfer among stakeholders. The straightforward application process without fixed deadlines facilitates the planning and implementation of projects addressing climate- and resource-friendly land management. Experts from environmental and agricultural sciences can contribute their expertise, while artistic and creative approaches open up new perspectives on sustainable usage concepts. In this way, the fund contributes to a resilient agricultural landscape and promotes long-term effective strategies for responsible land use.
