Geography
Switzerland is the pioneer of bio-agriculture and of keeping livestock in appropriate conditions. Over thirty years ago the foundations for the development of bio agriculture were laid.
Its objectives were the sustainable use of natural resources, the protection of the environment and of animals and the production of healthy food. Today Switzerland has the highest per capita consumption of bio products in the world; 11.2% of all farms and 10.5% of all agricultural land are devoted to bio agriculture. Bio agriculture is strongest in the alpine regions. In the Canton Graubünden 51.8% of agricultural land is used for bio products.
