Less Favoured Areas (LFA)

Less Favoured Areas (LFA) refer to regions that face natural disadvantages for farming due to factors like poor soil quality, harsh climate, or mountainous terrain. These areas often struggle to produce enough food or maintain farming activities compared to more fertile regions. To support farmers in LFAs, governments and organizations provide specific aids and policies aimed at sustaining agricultural practices, preserving rural communities, and maintaining the landscape. This assistance is crucial for ensuring food security and protecting the environment in these less productive regions.
