Nut growing for Swedish conditions

Ander Lindén, workshop at Rydeholms forestgarden, Anderslöv, Sweden

About us

We are two colleagues within a growing international agroforestry movement that promotes the indispensability of trees and the necessity of mycorrhizal cooperation for resource-efficient and resilient landscapes, for our survival. We are also active in the association Agroforestry Sweden, which promotes knowledge dissemination and development through conferences, roadtrips, videos, brochures, national and international cooperation and political advocacy work. An example of this is the dialogue that the board of Agroforestry Sweden has had with the Swedish Agricultural Agency in 2023-24, which has contributed to the definition "Tree farming"* which from 2024 provides the opportunity to farm support. (*The support only covers 'silvoarable agroforestry' which is a subcategory of Agroforestry).
