Fäbod and seter : summer farms on the Scandinavian peninsula

Cows, goats and sheep are still grazing in the mountains and forests of the Scandinavian peninsula in the ancient tradition of pastoralism. The livestock are a lot fewer in number than they used to be in the heyday of Scandinavian summer pastoralism, the fäbod or seter farming. This book describes summer farming, both history and present, and its effect on the biological diversity.
