The gouverments in Sweden and Norway have nominated the "Summer farming at fäbod andseter – knowledge, traditions and practices related to grazing of outlying lands and artisan food production” to the UNESCO Representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity

There are now only 750 active summer- mountain frams in norway, and about 50 milk-produsing summerfarms in Sweeden. 

Summer-farming has been crucial for survival in the mountain villages for over a thousand, perhaps several thousand years. The interaction between people, animals and nature has created a species-rich ecosystem with many species that are today threatened by overgrowth. The knowledge about dairy summer-farming and pastoralism in the outlands is very important to ensure sustainable food production in the future
