Agriculture in Iceland
For centuries Iceland's main industries were fishing, fish processing and agriculture. In the 19th century, 70–80% of Icelanders lived by farming, but there has been a steady decline over the years and now that figure is less than 5% of the total population.〔(Iceland - Agriculture and Fishing ) Encyclopædia Britannica online (retrieved 18 May 2009)〕 It is expected that the number will continue to fall in the future. Only 1% of the total land area (of 100,000 km2) is under arable cultivation, confined almost exclusively to the peripheral lowland areas of the country.
==Livestock==
The raising of livestock, sheep (the traditional mainstay for generations of Icelandic farmers) and cattle (the latter grew rapidly in the 20th century),〔Iceland (Insight Guides), p119.〕 is the main occupation, but pigs and poultry are also reared; Iceland is self-sufficient in the production of meat, dairy products and eggs. There is also an important export trade in horses. In recent years there has been a move towards increasing specialization in the livestock sector.
