The southernmost region of Sweden is known for growing, farming,
foraging and hunting and the municipality of Skåne is forging an international reputation as a place to eat
and drink yourself happy.
In autumn 2008, several cases were reported in the southern Swedish provinces of Småland,
Halland, and Skåne, as well as in areas of the Netherlands bordering Germany,
prompting veterinary authorities in Germany to intensify controls.
Home to wind farms, vineyards and wild meadows full of cornflowers and poppies, the
countryside in the southernmost part of Sweden- known as Skåne- feels a world away from the dense
pine forests of the north.
