  Abstract:  Agriculture in the Romanian mountains is still run in a traditional way, compared to most European countries. Most probably, there are large resemblances between the present agriculture in Romania and past agriculture in countries more penetrated by modernization. The aim of this paper is to se if Romania can be used as a reference for research on pre-industrial agriculture in Sweden. The comparison shows large resemblances concerning the fundamental agricultural system. Similar techniques are utilized in the use of grassland (hay meadows and pastures) for feeding livestock summer and winter. Also the land ownership for different land use types is comparable. However, farms are smaller and villages much larger in Romania compared to Sweden. There are also differences in some details concerning the use of grassland, arable fields and forest.

Keywords: agriculture, history, Sweden, Romania
