Upcoming

Implemented

20 August, 14.00-16.00: Kickoff Ekobonde in store & Eko-September

Within the scope of the project More Eco we'll get on Organic Sweden organize 16 Ecofarmers in stores during Eco-September in southern Sweden. This means that an organic farmer comes out to a grocery store for half a day and offers taste samples of organic products and talks about organic added value with customers. The aim is to drive the consumption of eco, by motivating the consumer to move their hand to the organic product on the shop shelf.

Are you a store employee or an organic farmer who wants to take part in the campaign? Then you are warmly welcome to our kickoff at Malmö chokladfabrik. During the kickoff, coffee and a tour of the chocolate factory will be offered. It is possible to participate both physically and digitally. Sign up here.

Within the scope of the project More Eco arranges Organic Sweden a number of eco-breakfasts in southern Sweden. One of these is at Berte Qvarn in Slöinge i Halland.

The activity is aimed at those who work in grocery stores, hotels, restaurants and cafes. Here you can read more and register.

18 September, 13.00-14.30: Sustainable food choices, whose responsibility?

With inflation and high interest rates, food prices have come into focus, while sustainability and other added values ​​have fallen into the background. Is the trade a passive actor that is only driven by demand, or a responsible party that can guide the consumer to sustainable choices and organic products? Does it have to be political instruments? And what determines what the consumer ultimately chooses? 

These questions and more will be at the center during a panel discussion organized by SLU Organic production and consumption, Epok in collaboration with us at Organic Sweden. More information will come in August. Read more here.
