Agriculture is still essential to keep remote valleys inhabited and [[Cultural landscape|cultivated]], differing it from sheer [[wilderness]]. Agriculture is therefore supported by subsidies by the authorities both national and regional. Eight per cent of the population work in agriculture and forestry, where 50 per cent of the production is certified as organic. Agriculture includes forests and [[Alpine transhumance|mountain pasturage]] in summer, particularly of cows, sheep and goats.{{citation needed|date=April 2020}}

This area is referred to as the Bündner Herschaft. In the southern valleys of [[Mesolcina]] and [[Val Poschiavo]] there is corn ([[maize]]) and [[Chestnut production in Switzerland|chestnut farming]], allowed by the milder climate.

24 per cent of the workforce are employed in industry whereas 68 per cent work in the service industry. The most industrialized region is naturally that of Chur. [[Ems-Chemie]] is based in [[Domat/Ems]] and is a major employer in the area.

The tourism industry is a major player and reaches a remarkable 14 per cent of the GDP. Tourism is concentrated around the towns of [[Davos]], [[Klosters]], [[Lenzerheide]], [[Arosa]], [[Flims]],  [[St. Moritz]] and [[Pontresina]], which have large ski areas. There are, however, a great number of other tourist resorts in the canton, divided by the official tourist board for winter sports for example into categories "Top - Large - Small and beautiful".<ref>[http://en.graubuenden.ch/ski-snowboard/overview.html Switzerland holidays Graubünden winter]{{Dead link|date=August 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> St. Moritz is one of the oldest [[winter sport]] resorts, being popular in winter since 1864.<ref>{{cite news |last=Potter |first=Everett |date=21 November 2019 |title=St Moritz, The Birthplace Of Winter Sports |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/everettpotter/2019/11/21/st-moritz-the-birthplace-of-winter-sports/?sh=7f796e57330f |work=[[Forbes]] |access-date=4 March 2022 |quote=You can make a strong case that the origins of modern winter sports lie here, starting in the 1860’s with hotelier Johannes Badrutt, who welcomed a steady stream of well-heeled British guests to his small Kulm Hotel.}}</ref><ref>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7UPqDwAAQBAJ | title=Travel Journalism and Travel Media: Identities, Places and Imaginings | publisher=[[Springer Nature]] | author=Ben Cocking | year=2020 | pages=9 | isbn=9781137599087 |quote=The launching of the Cook excursions in Britain (1841), the appearance of the first Baedekker guide (1843), the inauguration of a winter "season" in Saint Moritz (1864), the creation of Yellowstone (1877): these were the important markers of its growth path [mass tourism].}}</ref> The following year, Davos also saw its first tourists in winter.<ref>[https://www.davos.ch/en/information/portrait-image/storybook/davos-the-pioneer In step with the times for the past 150 years] davos.ch</ref> St. Moritz hosted the [[1928 Winter Olympics]] and the [[1948 Winter Olympics]]. Summer tourism is also an important source of revenue. Trekking, mountaineering, and mountain biking are some of the main activities. Business tourism is also a source of revenue, notably in [[Davos]], where the [[World Economic Forum]] meetings are traditionally organised.
