Önneköp is growing

”We are taking the first step towards sustainable and toxin-free food production in Önneköp. Through knowledge, collaboration, and local engagement, we want to strengthen the community's self-sufficiency and create a resilient countryside.”

About the feasibility study

The feasibility study aims to lay the foundation for a joint toxin-free cultivation focused on sustainable food production, toxin-free cultivation and local preparedness.

The feasibility study includes:

  • Lectures, workshops, and study visits in cultivation, seed cultivation, food craftsmanship, and food preparedness.
  • The formation of a working group with future village growers.
  • Sketches and land preparations on the leased land from Hörby municipality.
  • Investigation of the conditions for a food-approved kitchen for processing and storage.

The purpose is clear: to strengthen the community's self-sufficiency, reduce the carbon footprint through local production and short supply chains, and create a community around sustainable food production.

In the long term, the project will make Önneköp more self-sustaining, resilient, and sustainable.

”A diverse cultivation of vegetables, berries, and flowering plants creates habitats that strengthen biodiversity and benefit pollinators – a key for functioning ecosystems and important ecosystem services.”
