| Sumario: | Semi-natural pasture is a dwindling type of agricultural landscape in Sweden. This is a qualitative study aiming to investigate the work around semi-natural pastures in the county Kronoberg in the south of Sweden. The thesis has an actor’s perspective and focuses on driving forces in the work with semi-natural pastures. The material is collected through semi-structured interviews with farmers and CAB officials, and then analysed with inspiration from Latour’s actor-network theory and additional concepts to highlight certain aspects from the fieldwork. Conclusions are drawn around the lack of economic sustainability which lead to a decreasing number of farmers, who are essential actors in the maintaining of semi-natural pastures. |
