About us

We are two colleagues within a growing international agroforestry movement. Together we made the film
"The forestgarden at Rydeholm" (2022) and we also worked together at the board of Agroforestry Sweden (2023-25).
We believe agroforestry’s potential to revitalise our ecosystems is immense and that nature restoration and food production need to work together to create resilient, resource-efficient, biodiverse and productive agro-ecosystems.

The association Agroforestry Sweden promotes knowledge dissemination and increased understanding of the benefits of agroforestry through conferences, roadtrips, 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"* since 2024 eligible for subsidies. (*The support only covers 'silvoarable agroforestry', a subcategory of Agroforestry).
