The BMEL funding was created to promote investments in environmentally friendly technologies and equipment. It is a program offered by the Landwirtschaftliche Rentenbank on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL). The funding program offers financial support for investments in agricultural practices that are particularly environmentally friendly and climate-friendly. It runs for a period of four years until December 31, 2024.Farmers, agricultural contractors and commercial machinery rings are eligible to submit applications. What exactly is being promoted is investments in technologies that protect the environment and save resources. Examples include machines and devices that are used in agriculture to precisely dose and apply fertilizers and plant protection products, such as the ISARIA plant sensor. This is on the BMEL positive list.
