The European Commission has approved a Dutch grant scheme worth up to €615.7 million to support dairy farms that reduce the intensity of their operations. The aid is aimed at agri-environment and climate commitments, meaning farms can receive support for moving toward less intensive dairy production practices. The scheme runs until 28 April 2031 and covers the dairy cattle sector in the Netherlands. Dairy farmers, agricultural advisers, and rural policy teams should watch the national rollout rules, application windows, and eligibility conditions set by the Dutch authorities.
