12.30-13.30 Lunch talk: ”Bonde söker bönder” explores the future of farming

  • Adam Arnesson,  Organic farmer
  • Elin Röös, researcher at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences

Adam Arnesson also known as “Ekobonden” and Elin Röös joined forces in a project that managed to cut the greenhouse gas emissions from Adam’s farm by half. How did they go about this? What can farmers and policymakers in other Nordic or European countries learn from their journey?  They will also discuss how farmers can be incentivized to go about this change and how they see the role of changes in food consumption.
