Open calls whose title or terms mention agriculture, farming, horticulture, livestock or food processing: state grants for orchards, greenhouses and processing plants via Diia, FAO, UNDP and successor programmes for frontline farms, European EIT Food and Horizon Europe calls for agritech. The list is built from the GetGrant catalogue automatically and shows only calls with a valid deadline or rolling applications.

Agricultural programmes almost always require co-funding (20 to 50 percent), documented land or livestock and a business plan with a payback calculation. State grants run through Diia and a partner bank, international ones through the funder’s announcement. Check whether your region and farm size qualify: some programmes are only for micro and small producers or only for de-occupied territories. Applications always go to the funder’s site, linked from each card.
