    La dehesa es un ecosistema agroforestal único que aúna un óptimo rendimiento económico con una menor incidencia en el medio. En la Península Ibérica hay unas 500.000 hectáreas de dehesas concentradas en Andalucía, Castilla y León, Extremadura, Castilla La Mancha y Madrid. Las razas autóctonas son las que, por su rusticidad y adaptación, mejor aprovechan y conservan la dehesa.

    Multivariate Classification models to classify real farm conditions Iberian pigs, according to the feeding regime were developed by using fatty acids composition or NIR spectral data of liquid fat samples. A total of 121 subcutaneous fat samples were taken from Iberian pigs carcasses belonging to 5 batches reared under different feeding systems. Once the liquid sample was extracted from each subcutaneous fat sample, it was determined the percentage of 11 fatty acids (C14:0, C16:0, C16:1, C17:0, C17:1, C18:0, C18:1, C18:2, C18:3, C20:0 and C20:1).

    The process of agricultural abandonment has been taking place for the last decades all around Europe. This process has special effect on mountain livestock farming, as it is the case of that of Catalan Pyrenees, which is characterised by an extensive management of the herd between the alpine grasslands in summer and the hay meadow of the lower valleys in winter. The process of agricultural abandonment, apart from the obvious closing down of the exploitations, also implies a gradual decrease of the management intensity of the farming exploitation.
