The Less Favoured Area Support Scheme (LFASS) aims to:
- contribute to the maintenance of the countryside, and viable rural communities, by ensuring continued agricultural land use
- maintain and promote sustainable farming systems
It does this by compensating the farmers and crofters who farm in the most disadvantaged areas of Scotland with annual area-based payments.
For further details, please see the LFASS information leaflet. The leaflet is also available in pdf format (325kb).
For full details please see the LFASS guidance notes.
