Grants from the Land Reform Fund are awarded to non-governmental organisations, farmers, municipalities and others possessing or controlling land. The aim of the grants is protection and restoration of vegetation and soil. The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021 to 2030 aims to prevent, halt and reverse the degradation of ecosystems on every continent and in every ocean. Icelandic people are strongly encouraged to participate. Land and forest Iceland provides advice on the implementation of the projects supported by the fund and monitors their progress and results.

Application deadline for 2026 is 1 February.
