SHEEP FARMING IN EUROPE: AN ECONOMIC ASSET FOR THE CONTINENT!

Do you know how sheep help the environment and local economy? Hint: it isn’t by organising illegal raves!

Sheep farming allows for the development of economic activity in disadvantaged regions. Especially in mountainous areas, with its generating of jobs and a local social life.

Eat. Sleep. Farm. Rave. Repeat.

By promoting a region with low economic potential, sheep farming contributes to the maintenance of a strong economy for these non-cultivable or poorly fertilized areas where various plants – grass, bushes and shrubs – naturally grow.

Booming economies, culture, landscapes and gastronomic traditions have all sprung up around sheep farming regions, which in turn, have contributed a lot to the tourist appeal of these territories!
