Abstract/Description
The traditional livestock keeping of cattle, sheep and goats on alpine pasture has a significant influence on the agricultural system, as well as on regional production systems and the ecosystem. Furthermore, it plays a major role in the cultural live in the alpine region. Alpine pastures also contribute to an open landscape and thereby to tourism. These regional production systems may become more important but also pressured in the face of actual political and climatical developments. Therefore, the different challenges and opportunities for alpine livestock farming in the face of climate change, ecology, economy, sociology and animal health, including the one health aspect, should be addressed and discussed in this session.
