Circular Farming
By reusing organic matter from plants, we create a circular process where the natural waste becomes nourishment for the ongoing vegetation. This sustainable practice not only provides an ecological feedback effect, but also promotes a more viable and nutritious environment for the plants to thrive in.
No chemicals
Co-cultivation
We practice co-cultivation by growing several plant species together, allowing mutual support and sharing of nutrients. Just as in human-to-human cooperation, this shows that the strength lies in working together for the plants too.
Strengthens the soil
Through our practices, we actively strengthen the soil's ability to deliver a rich and nutritious base for vegetation, which in turn promotes healthy growth and viable crops.
increase photosynthesis
By caring for plants, we increase their capacity for photosynthesis, which means that they efficiently use the nutrients in the air while absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. This contributes to a healthier and more balanced ecosystem service from our crops.
Cultivating all year round
We practice continuous crop cover on our fields for most of the year, with short breaks for sowing. This method creates a constant supply of food for the soil's important organisms and worms, promoting their growth and reproduction.
biochar
minimal transportation
By uniting the region's producers around this concept, we aim to minimize transport distances, reduce costs while maintaining high product quality. This creates an efficient and economically sustainable production chain while strengthening the cohesion and cooperation within our local business community.
reducing CO2
Our goal is to integrate 2-3 tons of CO2 into the crop soil annually per hectare within the concept. By deliberately transferring these amounts of CO2 to the soil, we increase its carbon content and contribute to increased fertility. In doing so, we aim not only to reduce global CO2 levels, but also to improve soil health and the sustainability of our growing environment.
The crops we grow and process are naturally gluten-free and are characterized by high protein and nutritional content.
Organic farming has been an established practice in Sweden for about 20-30 years. The increasing interest in developing organic farming has grown out of the realization of the need to improve food production and harmonize it with nature in order to grow nutritious food, not only for us but also for future generations.
Our concept is based on accumulated knowledge from various sources, especially the knowledge that existed before the start of industrial food production. We have also taken into account Sweden's special conditions to create a profitable and long-term cultivation that can become an important business for the future Sweden.
Our development is not driven by large organizations to reduce the use of external inputs. Rather, the aim of the concept is to avoid external inputs, which makes it interesting for us humans because we see that it can work forever. Nature grows in balance and interaction with us humans.
Do we need to use unnatural chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides and the like? Some say yes, but our position is no. Our concept is based on the fact that nature itself is healthy and strong enough to resist attacks.
But what do we do to make it work?
- We have greenery all year round.
- We combine legumes, herbs and cereals.
- We support the microbes and fungi in our soils, bring back natural fertility using fermented nutrients, reintroduce natural fungi and help worms to develop. Soil organisms should always have a rich 'smorgasbord' to enjoy.
We can already see that it is working and that our harvests are producing excellent results.
