About us/Rotverket (The Root Office)

Rotverket AB: is a newly started agroforestry consulting & communication agency with focus on southern Swedish conditions. Our consultations include alley cropping, windbreaks enhancing biodiversity, riparian buffers for streams and lakes, nut growing, food forests/forest gardens. We follow through the whole process, from site analysis to implementation based on our customers interests and preferences. We also engage in documentations (photography, film, layout & illustration) 
and international collaborations.

About us: We are two colleagues within a growing international agroforestry movement. Together we made the film "The forest garden at Rydeholm" (2022). We have experience from working together at the board of Agroforestry Sweden, an association that promotes knowledge dissemination and increased understanding of agroforestry through conferences, road trips, 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 Board of Agriculture  in 2023-24, which has contributed to the Swedish definition "Tree farming"* from 2024 eligible for subsidies. (*The support only covers 'silvoarable agroforestry', a subcategory of Agroforestry).
