      abstract = {With the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union and calls  for establishing a new agricultural policy, it is pertinent  to examine the role that disadvantage plays within support  for farm incomes.  We matched farm business survey data  with land capability and other biophysical data to  understand the impact of biophysical and distance based  disadvantage on viability.    We derive five indicators of  viability, ranging from vulnerable to robust and resilient.  An ordinal logistic regression then measures the effect of  biophysical and distance based disadvantage on viability.   We find biophysical criteria affects viability, but other  factors such as attitudes and farm structural decision  making has a positive influence of viability status.  },
