On this website we put the spotlight on those people and organizations that constitute Södertälje Sustainable Food Society. It is a cluster of farms, producers, public kitchens and others who want to change the way food is produced and the way in which it is consumed.
We believe that everyone who wants to in us in this work is a good example of how you contribute to making the world a better place. That’s why we want to present them here. And we want this sustainable food society to grow!
The people behind all these good examples all work to make food friendlier to the Baltic Sea (read about Diet for a Clean Baltic here). They do this in different ways; either by being farmers or producers, or through services, knowledge sharing, marketing or networking.
Use these people and organisations. Visit them, ask them about their products or services. Recommend them to others! The more people who share our ideas, the stronger Södertälje Sustainable Food Society will become.

Ecological forestry – a good business.
Modern forestry is carried out as plantation forestry where the primeval forest is removed and replaced with a plantation forest. This is true in many countries, as well as in Sweden. We would like to change this. “Forests have evolved for millennia where nature itself has been allowed to shape the landscape. This is the foundation of the Silvaskog AB advisory.” Welcome to our scenic trail at Niblble farm, through forest, rocks and meadows along the Baltic Sea.
