Financing your project in Isère: livestock farming, viticulture, methanisation, and agricultural transition

Introduction

The Département de l'Isère publishes a portal of agricultural procedures covering several productive and transition investments. Some schemes are linked to the FEADER 2023–2027 programme and are processed by the Region on behalf of the co-funders; others fall under a specific departmental regulation. To secure funding, check the version of the regulations, the call for applications, the eligible beneficiary, and the rules on when expenses may start.

Who is this guide for?

Farms headquartered in Isère, groups of farmers, wine-growers, promoters of agricultural methanisation projects, training establishments, and, for certain components, local authorities or collective organisations.

Understanding who funds what

Separate aid granted directly by the Département, measures co-financed with the Region/FEADER, State aid, and instruments from partner operators. Location alone does not turn national or European funding into departmental aid.

Direct departmental aid

The departmental portal identifies, in particular, investments in livestock farms, crop protection, viticulture, and agricultural methanisation. The rules vary by scheme and may rely on the regional FEADER.

Agricultural and rural aid

Crop-production investments, hedge planting, and agroforestry aim at climate adaptation and farm resilience. For FEADER-related measures, the Region is the processing body, depending on the calls and co-financing rules.

Territorial investment and transition

Some procedures for identifying funding for investment projects are reserved for municipalities and EPCIs (inter-municipal bodies). Private farms must use the dedicated agricultural fact sheets and must not confuse free territorial advice with a grant.

Complementary funding

Examine calls from the Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, the FEADER, the State, and energy-transition operators. For methanisation, check the agricultural governance, the location of the registered office and the site, and the charter and intervention regulations.

How to prepare your application

Prepare a technical description, quotes, a financing plan, accounts, registration details, headcount, turnover, and sector-specific and land-related supporting documents. Check whether the application must precede any commitment of expenditure.

Checking the status of the aid

Check the regulations in force, the application date, the available funds, and the official portal. Old documents are kept as historical references, never as sufficient proof that the scheme is open.

Combining aid and State-aid regime

The rules for combining aid depend on the State-aid regime and the expenses being funded. In the absence of an explicit source, state 'to be checked in the regulations'.

Points of caution

Do not confuse a grant, a loan, FEADER co-financing, support, aid to a local authority, and direct aid to a business. The legal-beneficiary criteria take precedence.

Schemes identified in this batch
