PRACTICES:

Ramats de Foc combines strategic grazing with promoting local products to help prevent wildfires. Livestock herds manage vulnerable areas by reducing fuel biomass and maintaining accessible forests. At the same time, the sale of meat and dairy products under a dedicated label recognises the role of grazing in territorial safety and landscape sustainability.
