Grazing subsidies

The project aims to assess the impact of changes in grazing subsidies and outfield grazing subsidies on grazing practices and agriculture in general. It will gather knowledge about the direct relationship between changes in subsidies on the one hand, and the number of animals grazing as well as the proportion of animals grazing on the other. The project will also evaluate the effects on other agricultural activities. This relationship will be used to estimate the impact of changes in agricultural settlements on activity over the next ten years. As part of the project, a survey will be conducted among Norwegian farmers to assess the connection between grazing subsidies and grazing activity.
