Alnarp’s Agroecology Farm was started in 2021 by a group of passionate Agroecology master’s students at SLU. They shared a vision of creating a space for developing practical skills in farming, where theory could be tested by applying it to the reality of running a small-scale farming business. The farm would also become a vital educational tool and research facility over time, as well as a warm and welcoming environment that brought together all members of the local community.

A project such as this was felt to be missing in Alnarp and so, encouraged by Faculty members and fellow students, the agroecology students drew up their vision, goals and business plan for Alnarp’s Farm. They were successful in obtaining initial grants and our first plot of land of 400m2 in front of Grohuset.
