The panel also includes<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasetsgrona.se\/\"> The green of the nose<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.langhardlantbruk.se\/\"> Langhard agriculture<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/osterbygard.se\/\">\u00d6sterby farm<\/a>. They discuss the challenges that small-scale producers face, such as increased costs and difficulties in getting into stores, and this is agreed by the next panel, which consists of <a href=\"https:\/\/skogsbackensost.se\/\">Skogsbacken&#039;s cheese<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/peasmakers\/\">Peasmakers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/charlottenlund.nu\/\">Charlottenlund&#039;s shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Common to all of them was the belief that small-scale and diversity are needed to build resilience, but better conditions are also needed for those who want to start or grow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><strong>\u201cWe need to become more, not fewer food producers,\u201d<\/strong> emphasized Linda Fidjeland from J\u00e4dra rectory.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Logistics and trading places<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Several actors, including <a href=\"https:\/\/matvarden.se\/\">FoodHost<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/1318554738186482\/?locale=sv_SE\">REKO-Uppsala<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/matochsmaker.se\/\">Food and Flavors in Northern Stockholm<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bondensmatiuppland.se\/\">Farmer&#039;s food in Uppland<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uppsalamatrad.org\/\">Uppsala Food Council<\/a>, discussed the challenges surrounding logistics and distribution.

Few farmers, low self-sufficiency and strong import dependence make Sweden sensitive to disruptions. Therefore, she emphasized, municipalities have a key role, both through land use, procurement and education, in strengthening capacity before the crisis arrives. At the same time, there is uncertainty about what responsibility they actually have. One question she raises is, for example, how long a municipality should plan for preparedness? Her research shows that many municipalities want to work more actively with preparedness, but that they themselves feel that they lack resources and clear guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>We invited several municipalities to a panel discussion on the topic.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vallentuna uses a dynamic purchasing system that makes it easier for local producers to participate in procurements.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trosa has driven the project <i>Growing everyday food<\/i>, which connects cultivation, knowledge and community.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sigtuna is discussing whether a <i>emergency committee<\/i> can give the issue political weight, and how schools can become part of the solution.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lund has bought up land to protect it from exploitation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The panel discussions will be interspersed with lectures from, among others, Rebecca Waterhouse on the national food strategy, Maria Gardfjell on why local food is the best crisis plan, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.happyfood.se\/\">Happy Food<\/a> which talks about private purchases of locally produced food. Through the presentations we learn even more about different perspectives on food and preparedness. Maria presents the toolbox that municipalities have, and Uppsala Municipality shares a survey that has been done and what conditions the municipality has to cope in a crisis. For example, there is a large grain production in the county, but no capacity to utilize this.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 25%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-10101 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-large'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Kommuner-2-Hemsidan-1-scaled.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Kommuner-2-Hemsidan-1-1024x473.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-10111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Kommuner-2-Hemsidan-1-980x452.jpg 980w, https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Kommuner-2-Hemsidan-1-480x222.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-10111'>\n\t\t\t\tThe municipalities\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Lokala-politiker-Hemsidan-scaled.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Lokala-politiker-Hemsidan-1024x473.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-10112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Lokala-politiker-Hemsidan-980x452.jpg 980w, https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Lokala-politiker-Hemsidan-480x222.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-10112'>\n\t\t\t\tLocal politicians\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Upphandling-Vallentuna-1-scaled.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Upphandling-Vallentuna-1-1024x473.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-10113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Upphandling-Vallentuna-1-980x452.jpg 980w, https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Upphandling-Vallentuna-1-480x222.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-10113'>\n\t\t\t\tProcurement Vallentuna\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Uppsala-Kommun-Hemsidan-1-scaled.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Uppsala-Kommun-Hemsidan-1-1024x473.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-10114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Uppsala-Kommun-Hemsidan-1-980x452.jpg 980w, https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Uppsala-Kommun-Hemsidan-1-480x222.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-10114'>\n\t\t\t\tUppsala Municipality\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h3><strong>Money, dating and politics<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It almost sounds like a new Netflix series, maybe it takes place at the Sigtuna Foundation.

After funding has been cleared from the agenda, it is time for speed dating. A new concept for us at Upplandsbygd, but it seems to have caught on with the participants. The noise level increases drastically before Jenny has even had time to finish reading the instructions, and the dating begins. Everyone gets to talk to everyone in the assigned group, and they have five minutes to perhaps find a potential (collaboration) partner.<\/p>\n<p>The participants think that municipalities must realize what responsibility they have, and that they must invest in children and schools. Another thinks that we must take advantage of the knowledge of the more experienced. Or why not hire school gardeners? As you can hear, this may not be what you usually talk about on a first date. But, this is also much more exciting than the usual topics of conversation.<\/p>\n<p>We conclude with a panel discussion with local politicians, where the tables have been asked to think about questions they want to ask the politicians. <em>What do you need from us who want to be involved in change? How do you formulate an idea so that it can be taken forward? Can we get a meeting with the municipal board?\u00a0<\/em>As you can read, there are enthusiastic people sitting among us. We would have needed even more time to be able to get answers to all the questions that were in the room. This proves the commitment there is to these issues, and the politicians almost had to promise that food and preparedness will be part of the next election promise.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 25%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-4' class='gallery galleryid-10101 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-large'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/en\/lokal-mat-beredskap\/cyrille-gauber-hemsidan\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Cyrille-Gauber-Hemsidan-1024x473.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-10115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Cyrille-Gauber-Hemsidan-980x452.jpg 980w, https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Cyrille-Gauber-Hemsidan-480x222.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-10115'>\n\t\t\t\tCyrille from Mikrofonden\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/en\/lokal-mat-beredskap\/maria-gardfjell-hemsidan\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Maria-Gardfjell-Hemsidan-1024x523.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-10116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Maria-Gardfjell-Hemsidan-980x501.jpg 980w, https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Maria-Gardfjell-Hemsidan-480x245.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-10116'>\n\t\t\t\tMaria Gardfjell about food and preparedness\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/en\/lokal-mat-beredskap\/sarah-thorsaeus-hemsidan\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Sarah-Thorsaeus-Hemsidan-1024x473.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-10117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Sarah-Thorsaeus-Hemsidan-980x452.jpg 980w, https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Sarah-Thorsaeus-Hemsidan-480x222.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-10117'>\n\t\t\t\tSarah from Coompanion\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/en\/lokal-mat-beredskap\/speeddejting-1\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Speeddejting-1-1024x473.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-10118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Speeddejting-1-980x452.jpg 980w, https:\/\/upplandsbygd.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/11\/Speeddejting-1-480x222.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-10118'>\n\t\t\t\tSpeed dating\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h3 data-start=\"3741\" data-end=\"4024\"><strong>What happens now?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3741\" data-end=\"4024\">The need for logistics, infrastructure and long-term financing were recurring considerations during the conference. Participants called for simpler regulations for small producers, fairer government fees and better opportunities for training in soil health and food science. One idea that attracted interest was the creation of a L<em>andesbygd and emergency response office <\/em>within the municipalities, to collect and coordinate these issues. In January we will organize a meeting regarding the creation of a digital marketplace like MatV\u00e4rden, so don&#039;t miss this!<\/p>\n<p>What we take away from the conference are new insights into how we can make an impact. Regardless of the background of the participants, we seem to agree on one thing, and that is that someone has to do something. The hardest question of all is, who is someone?<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we would like to extend a big thank you to all the participants, who time and again contributed with wise thoughts and perspectives. We are already looking forward to next year&#039;s conference, we hope to see you there!<\/p>\n<p>Did you miss the conference but want to know more about a specific presentation?
