Placing livestock in landscape studies : pastures new or out to graze?

Animals and the landscape

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
The paper reviews research on livestock and landscape. It argues that farm animals have started to occupy a central position in landscape studies, opening up many new pastures for research. Using the example of cattle in the UK, the AA. consider how livestock have been understood as text, as social constructions and as beings with their own lives. In each case, they note how the position of farm animals is contested and there is a need for a diversity of theoretical approaches to understand these differences. The article calls for academics, practitioners and policy-makers to pay greater attention to the myriad ways in which livestock and landscape are intertwined.
