Resumo(s)
Trás-os-Montes, Northeastern Portugal, is one of the most disfavoured areas in the country
and in the EU. It is a mountainous region where sheep farming has had a great socioeconomic
value throughout time, particularly due to the fact that alternative economic activities are very
scarce at both the local and regional level. Traditional sheep farming is based on long-
established knowledge and pratices. Its main feature is itinerary grazing over the local
territory. Flocks range around all over the unfenced and “free” plots of different landowners,
according to old uses of land management. So, sheep use natural resources that otherwise would be useless
