Important results from the project
Nuts - the everyday food of the future delivered on the goals in our 6 work packages: Cultivation systems, Public health and preparedness, Business models and value chain, Culture and behavior change, the Knowledge network Nötverket and Nötresan. The most important result is that Nötverket has started at www.notverket.se, with members, newsletter, podcast etc., and a core team that has already secured funding to continue the journey for nuts as a natural part of the Swedish foodscape!
Expected long term effects
Nuts are becoming an integrated building block in the Swedish foodscape and contribute to increased public health, better preparedness and self-sufficiency, as well as a richer food culture. More nut trees in the landscape contribute to increased biodiversity and carbon storage. And last but not least - knowledge sharing and networking mean that nuts in everyday food contribute to a tastier and more enjoyable transition to a sustainable and healthy food system within the planetary boundaries.
Approach and implementation
Some important structures for implementation; work packages with clear responsibilities, activities and deliverables, a combination of ongoing weekly meetings and intensive sprints, sociocratic meeting techniques, and a committed project team! An external reference group with different backgrounds provided valuable perspectives, and contributed to identifying upcoming challenges. The study trip with open places was successful, good for us in the project team to see from the eyes of others.
