The subsidy scheme of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for knowledge transfer will soon open. This scheme supports the sharing of knowledge among groups of farmers.
Published on: June 16, 2025

In addition, we organize several meetings for this and other schemes. This way, we keep you informed about these and all upcoming CAP subsidy schemes in 2025. With the CAP scheme for Knowledge Transfer, we support innovation towards smart and resilient agriculture. From June 30, 2025, knowledge providers or partnerships of knowledge providers can apply for subsidies under the scheme.

Knowledge transfer for groups of farmers

With the CAP subsidy scheme Knowledge Transfer, we stimulate knowledge providers to transfer knowledge to groups of farmers. This can be based on various themes aimed at agricultural soils, water challenges, innovation, or new revenue models. For this, educational and research institutions and business consultants are often the initiators for applying for the subsidy.

Coaching, training or demonstrations

Knowledge sharing can take place in various ways. Think of training or workshops where farmers learn from each other about new techniques and business processes. Or coaching farmers to share knowledge about innovations within existing business models and new revenue models. Finally, demonstrating new machines and equipment that frontrunners are already using is also an example of knowledge transfer.   

Meetings

On July 3, 21, and August 28, 2025, the Province of Gelderland will organize information meetings. During these 3 evenings, we will focus on this scheme and other CAP schemes that we will open in 2025. During the meetings, we will provide more information about the content of the schemes. There will also be room to ask questions and meet other attendees. You can register for one of the meetings via the registration form. The meetings will take place at various locations in Gelderland.
