Nature is a source of great aesthetic and economical value
We exploit natural resources on land and at sea. The fish stocks in Faroese waters and fish farming provide a major contribution to commercial enterprises and exports nationally. Sheep and cattle rearing is important in Faroese agriculture and constitute a significant part of the Faroese diet, supplemented by birds and whale meat.
The sea around the Faroes is diverse. The ocean currents are important to the marine life around the Faroes and for global climate.
Prospects of finding oil in the Faroese sector are closely connected to knowledge of the geological conditions in the subsoil.
