Goethe summed up Switzerland succinctly as a combination of 'the colossal and the well-ordered'. You can be sure that your trains and letters will be on time. The tidy, just-so precision of Swiss towns is tempered by the lofty splendour of the landscapes that surround them.
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.
