Direct Payment Scheme

The Direct Payment Scheme is a system where the government provides financial support directly to eligible individuals, such as farmers or landowners, to help them manage specific activities like sustainable farming or land conservation. Instead of receiving goods or services, recipients get monetary payments that they can use to fund their practices while maintaining flexibility over how they allocate the funds. This scheme aims to promote environmental stewardship and support rural communities by providing predictable income, encouraging sustainable land management, and reducing administrative complexity.
