Sno is a village in the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region of northern Georgia, located in the historical province of Khevsureti. The local economy is mainly based on traditional agriculture and livestock farming. Farmers in this region are mainly engaged in breeding livestock, including cows, sheep and goats. Livestock farming in Sno plays a crucial role in the daily life of the community. Cows are kept for the production of milk, meat and dairy products such as cheese and yoghurt, which are used both for home consumption and for sale in local markets. Traditional methods of livestock farming and agriculture have often been passed down from generation to generation, helping to preserve cultural practices and knowledge in the region. Sno’s remote location and mountainous terrain sometimes make modern farming methods challenging, leading many farmers to stick to traditional techniques. Despite this, there are efforts to increase agricultural productivity and improve farmers’ living standards through education and access to better resources. Keeping cows and other livestock in Sno is not only an economic activity, but also an integral part of the social and cultural fabric of the community, with traditional knowledge and practices playing an important role in the daily lives of the residents.

This photo taken in Sno, Georgia shows a serene mountainous valley where cows rest in the golden grassland. The rolling hills and rugged mountains in the background reflect the untouched nature of the region. The autumnal hues of the landscape create a warm, peaceful atmosphere. The cows, scattered across the field, emphasize the traditional pastoral life that is still central here. The image exudes harmony between man, animal and nature in this remote part of the Caucasus.

Sno is een dorp in de regio Mtscheta-Mtianeti in het noorden van Georgië, gelegen in de historische provincie Chevsoeretië. De lokale economie is voornamelijk gebaseerd optraditionele landbouw en veeteelt. Boeren in deze regio houden zich vooral bezig met het fokken van vee, waaronder koeien, schapen en geiten. De veehouderij in Sno speelt een cruciale rol in het dagelijks leven van de gemeenschap. Koeien worden gehouden voor de productie van melk, vlees en zuivelproducten zoals kaas en yoghurt, die zowel voor eigen consumptie als voor verkoop op lokale markten worden gebruikt. De traditionele methoden van veeteelt en landbouw zijn vaak doorgegeven van generatie op generatie, wat bijdraagt aan het behoud van culturele praktijken en kennis in de regio. De afgelegen ligging en het bergachtige terrein van Sno maken moderne landbouwmethoden soms uitdagend, waardoor veel boeren vasthouden aan traditionele technieken. Desondanks zijn er inspanningen om de landbouwproductiviteit te verhogen en de levensstandaard van de boeren te verbeteren door middel van educatie en toegang tot betere middelen. Het houden van koeien en andere vee in Sno is niet alleen een economische activiteit, maar ook een integraal onderdeel van de sociale en culturele structuur van de gemeenschap, waarbij traditionele kennis en praktijken een belangrijke rol spelen in het dagelijks leven van de bewoners.
