Switzerland has a strong and ancestral dairy farming and cheese-making tradition. The rugged nature of the country makes approximately 80% of the agricultural land unsuitable for cultivation and, hence, mainly exploited for cattle and sheep farming. This mode of exploitation has forged a large part of the Swiss landscape, in the Alps, the Jura, and on the Swiss Plateau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Symphony of Tradition and Nature<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A trip to the Alps makes one wonder whether the Beatles’ song \u201cTill There Was You\u201d, with its lyric line \u201cThere were bells on a hill,\u201d was inspired by a visit to the Alpines in Switzerland. Once in the Alps, one cannot escape the sound of bells around the necks of cattle. Here, the rhythm of life revolves around the harmonious bond between humans, animals, and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
