UNHIDE AGROFORESTRY is a collaboration between
Agroforestry Sweden, represented by Maja & Anders, Latvian Permaculture Association & MEŽA PROJEKTI with support from Erasmus+. It includes 2 road trips to unhide inspiring practicies of
agroforestry in Sweden & Latvia during 2024.
The project is reported from the Swedish side in the form of this film by Maja, and
a
road-trip-conclusion and site presentations, seen from a Swedish
context (a pdf by Maja and Anders) in November 2024. Lessons learned from the project have been presented by Anders during 2024, at the Urban Food & farming Week at Botildenborg, Malmö, at SLU, Alnarp and during the yearly Nut Network Day at Holma folkhögskola in October.
UNHIDE AGROFORESTRY - A ROAD TRIP 2024
I'm a Tree
"I'm
a Tree, what do I need?" is a film portrait of the Latvian forest
owner and forester Agnis Graudulis, who for several years collected seeds of sweet
chestnut (Castaneva sativa), walnut (Juglans regia) and much more in
Nordic and Baltic countries, with the aim to get as broad genetic diversity as
possible, and has since built a 50 hectar ”off-grid” agroforestry
/Food forest system with great dedication of labor to the plantings,
nature-based solutions to water management, and
biodiversity. Runningtime 20 min. Photography, editing, production: Maja Lindström Kling.
