ry sets up a fund and farmers get additional payments for higher animal welfare standards.
The project includes improvements that go beyond legal requirements.
Farmers can join voluntarily and will then be monitored.

These farms get a bonus of 500. Farmers can also choose to meet extra criteria to receive additional payment
