We’ve only recently begun organizing cross-country collaborations — but already we have experienced how deeply rewarding it is to immerse ourselves together with others sharing a curiosity and sense of wonder, in topics agroforestry, agriwilding, rewilding, nature restoration and edible landscapes.
Since agroforestry, in a post-fossil economy, involves more physical labor and a greater number of people engaged in managing our food producing landscapes, an important aspect of these exchanges is to examine traditional practices. Often, despite climatic differences and different local conditions, there are many commonalities to recognize, learn from and to get inspired by, between countries. This can be exemplified by mountain agroforestry in northern Sweden, compared to in the Alps, where traditional practices such as the seasonal movement of livestock to summer pastures have persisted "in the shadow" of industrial intensive agriculture in the lowlands.
Our
first collaboration "Unhide Agroforestry" (2023-25) - a knowledge exchange between Latvian Permaculture association and Agroforestry Sweden, included a one week trip around Sweden and
another week in the Latvian countryside + a film production.
