VLIF — Non-productive investments for environmental and climate objectives
Original title (NL): VLIF Niet-productieve investeringen voor milieu- en klimaatdoelen
This call is closed. The submission deadline was 30 September 2026. It stays in the catalogue because these windows recur: ask to be alerted when it reopens.
What it funds
VLIF strand dedicated to investments without direct productive return, aimed at environmental and climate objectives. It covers biodiversity and habitat protection, erosion reduction, soil and water quality, controlled drainage and water storage systems, landscape features, landscape integration of farm buildings and wolf protection. The rate is 50%, 75% or 100% depending on how far the investment has secondary productive characteristics. The windows are the same four VLIF quarterly windows. After selection, implementation must be confirmed within 5.5 months and the payment claim filed within 2.5 years of the block's closure, with a field inspection and administrative approval.
Who can apply
Farms meeting the active farmer definition; groups of farmers constituted as a legal entity.
Notes and caveats
OPEN at the verification date (window 20 July - 30 September 2026). The page publishes no per-project or per-beneficiary ceilings. The 'controlled drainage and water storage systems' category is the most relevant for a water-solutions supplier, but must be checked against the quarter's VLIF-codelijst. Processing times reported by the source: around 11 months for files submitted before March 2026.
Status recalculated. The managing body’s portal listed this scheme as «aperto», but the published deadline says otherwise. In such cases we go by the date.
