MAJA & ANDERS


Our collaboration began in the summer of 2022 at Rydeholm, where Maja and her family stayed for several weeks — an encounter that resulted in the film “"The forest garden at Rydeholm”, based on interviews with Anders. Since then, we have worked closely for some years within the board of Agroforestry Sweden, Rotverket is our shared platform for projects and collaborations we pursue together or individually.

ACTIVITIES & PURPOSE
We provide consultancy in agroforestry, offering guidance, planning, reporting, implementation, and follow-up of agroforestry projects. Our work also extends to related areas such as gardening, landscape development, and ecological enrichment. We share knowledge through education and communication —using film, photography, design, and writing — with assignments for farmers, businesses, organisations, and public institutions.
