The main produce grown in the greenhouses are bell peppers, strawberries, cucumbers, tomatoes, and cabbage. Iceland mainly has farms for raising cattle and sheep. There are around 2,000 sheep farms which graze freely on moss, berries, and wild grass. Many herbs naturally found in iceland are used as seasonings, including creeping thyme, sheep shorrel, dulse, and birch. There are also natural berries which include redcurrants, crowberries, brambleberries, and bilberry. Only around 1% of the land is used for cultivation. Fishing is an essential part of iceland and has been a lifeline for the nation for both part of the diet and primary export product. The primary species of fish used for production are Arctic Charr, Atlantic salmon, and atlantic cod. Iceland is the largest producer of arctic charr in the world. The crops iceland usually grows are rutabaga, leeks, cauliflower, kale, potatoes, carrots, and rhubarb. During the times between 1960 and 1970 iceland had a problem with overfishing with certain species so the government made a restriction for the number of days trawlers could go out and catch fish. Since fisherman found a way around this restriction by competing to catch as many fish in the given amount of days, the government introduced an individual transferable share quota system, which would give fishermen to catch only a certain portion of the total allowable catch for a certain species. With this system they have become a sustainable fishing industry. The average daily kilocalories per person consume per day for iceland is 3380 kcal/person/day. Pastoral nomadism is not practiced in iceland due to it being a more wet climate which allows people to plant
