The Less Favoured Area Support Scheme (LFASS)

Compensates farmers and crofters for permanent disadvantage and will continue to support land management in primarily upland and remote areas.

The scheme is an interim arrangement, pending the outcome of an EU-wide review in 2008 and the introduction of a new scheme in 2010.
