The future of semi-natural pastures in Sweden

Symposium & Workshop 8th-9th of March 2017 Jönköping


The 8th-9th of March 2017 my colleague Simon Jakobsson and I arranged a two-day meeting in Jönköping to discuss the future for semi-natural pastures in Sweden. Together with invited stakeholders, such as farmers, land-owners, County Administrative Boards, The Swedish Board of Agriculture and researchers, we discussed themes related to management, subsidies and outreach. The meeting consisted of a symposium with invited speakers the first day, and a workshop discussing the theme the second day.

The symposium and workshop is summarised in a report that can be downloaded using the link below.
