Old farmhouse in Orpund, Canton Bern, Switzerland

Source: Reddit
Like this old abandoned farmhouse sitting in the middle of this gorgeous flowery meadow, many farms in Switzerland have abandoned farming. Farming in Switzerland has dropped and only about 4% are still active in the farming business. The trend is leaning toward fewer farms but larger ones. About three-quarters of the land used for farming are actually meadows and pastures like the one pictured here. Due to climate and the terrain, the country has become unsuitable for growing crops, leaving only about a third still producing crops.
