Abstract
There is little diversity in Icelandic agriculture, which is primarily based on grass cultivation, grazing and forage conservation, and the production of meat and milk from ruminants. Around 80% by value of agricultural production is obtained from sheep and cattle farming. The remainder is obtained from horses, pigs and poultry, potatoes and vegetables (including glasshouse products).
