Summary
In mountain regions there is a considerable amount of grassland – both meadow and pasture ‐ and in addition there is forest. There are only a few crop fields due to topography and climate often making cropping difficult. Mountain farming is therefore entirely geared towards, and dependent on, the use of grassland. Grassland can be used for human consumption mainly with the help of ruminants such as cattle, sheep and goats.
