  BLANDSKAP is a globally unique project that focuses on reintegrating crop production and grazing livestock within the same agricultural landscape. The results will contribute to the development of sustainable and profitable production of crops, milk and meat in a way that promotes biodiversity in the agricultural landscape, soil fertility, an attractive environment for those who spend time in the countryside, and a resilient agricultural sector. The project is funded by the Kamprad Family Foundation. BLANDSKAP stands for Pasture (bete), Landscape, Attractiveness, Nature, Diversity, Interaction (samspel), Knowledge (användning), Use and Production.
