Pasture farming in the Alps
Pasture farming is multifaceted: animal welfare and preservation of alpine pastures are in the foreground of this topic. Fair working conditions for shepherds and the sale of high quality produce should be as much a part of modern alpine economy as organisational structures and subsidies. On the 29th of September, an expert panel discussed the complexities of pasture farming as part of an information evening hosted by Naturmuseum South Tyrol and Teatro Cristallo within the framework of LIFEstockProtect.
