What Wikipedia says

Vaine pâture (German: Trattrecht; Italian: diritto di libero pascolo) was a right of use, widespread under various regional names before the agricultural modernization of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, that allowed the members of a peasant community to graze their livestock on all the fallow fields, the stubble, and—in autumn, and sometimes in spring—the mown meadows of a village territory.
