Bus/Financial - Agriculture / agricultural subsidies
German term or phrase: Betreuung
my all time favourite :-))Förderungen werden gewährt für Beratung, Betreuung, Marktforschung, Produktentwicklung etc. sofern dadurch die Qualität der landwirtschaftlichen Erzeugnisse erhöht wird.

I guess "Betreuung" in this sense would be provided by a consultant who stays on the farm and provides assistance for a certain period of time. ???

Explanation:
instead of translating Beratung and Betreuung separately, I would just say "consulting services" because Beratung and Betreuung often means the same in my experience.

support


Explanation:
Perhaps this is over-simplifying things a bit, but support could work here. There are also quite a few answers for Betreuung in the glossaries (see one example below).

Other alternatives: maintenance, supervision, care, servicing.
