Our landscape traditionally consisted of large areas of forest, part of which became arable land and, above all, meadows. The forests were made up of oaks, holm oaks, chestnuts, etc., which haves been replaced by pine and eucalyptus plantations that, in some cases, have spread right up to the homestead.
The traditional crops of cereal (wheat and corn), turnip and beetroot have also decreased in importance to the point that some have even disappeared, such as wheat in the mid-20<sup>th</sup> 20th century. That land used for those crops is now being used as grazing land and the area used to grow forage and meadow plants has increased significantly. Back in the 1970s, it was already said that there was a significant shift towards livestock in the agriculture of Bizkaia. There has been an upturn in market gardening.
