📢Day 2 of #oeweek brings a new OA title: 'A Country of #Shepherds: Cultural Stories of a Changing #Mediterranean Landscape' by Kathleen Ann Myers.

🐑🌿Discover the lives of Andalusian shepherds & their impact on ecological farming & cultural heritage.

This book draws on the life stories told by #shepherds, #farmers, and their families in the #Andalusian region in #Spain to sketch out the #landscapes, actions, and challenges of people who work in #pastoralism. Their narratives highlight how local practices interact with #regional and #European communities and #policies, and they help us see a broader role for extensive grazing practices and #sustainability.

'A Country of #Shepherds' is timely, reflecting the growing interest in ecological farming methods as well as the #Spanish #government’s recent work with #UNESCO to recognise the seasonal movement of herd animals in the #IberianPeninsula as an Intangible #CulturalHeritage.
