A collaboration between
Agroforestry Sweden, represented by Maja Lindström Kling & Anders Lindén, Latvian Permaculture Association &
Meža projekti
with support from Erasmus+.
The title “Unhide Agroforestry” encourages to discover the invisible and potential work of trees in the agricultural landscape and included 2 road trips to unhide inspiring practicies of
agroforestry (and plots with agroforestry elements) in Sweden & Latvia 2024. The project was disseminated from the Swedish side with the film "I'm a Tree" 2024 (below) and presentations at the Urban Food & farming Week at Botildenborg, Malmö, to agroecology students at SLU, Alnarp and during the yearly Nut Network Day at Holma folkhögskola 2024. The project is now closed. (Go to Rotverket)
A
booklet? Rotverket AB have applied for
grants from SweLatFund - to produce a separate booklet- aiming to express personal observations, experiences and evaluations as participants in the "Unhide Agroforestry" projekt
- to reach a wider group of people in both countries that could benefit
from the learnings, and to profile our work as consultants and
communicators of agroforestry.
I'M A TREE
"I'm
a Tree, what do I need?" is a film portraying the Latvian forest
owner and forester Agnis Graudulis, who for several years collected seeds of sweet
chestnut (Castanea 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” 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.
