Bio-District Sörmland has taken the next important step in its development! On June 18th, the non-profit association Bio-District Sörmland was formed, which will ensure that the work continues. At the meeting, the association’s first board was appointed, consisting of Anna Sundberg, Harriet Nilsson, Helena Nordlund, Jenny Askenfelt, Linus Källander, Sofi Gerber, and Tim Lux, together with the deputies Jostein Hertwig and Ulf Engström.
 
"We are so happy to have such a strong team with representatives from local and regional authorities and business support organisations in Sörmland, who now want to work across boundaries to strengthen the conditions for a sustainable, local food system. Now, we have established a platform for collaboration that can fill the gaps between the actors working with organic production and consumption", says Sofi Gerber, the coordinator of Bio-District Sörmland

Webinar series

Together with MatLust sustainable food node BERAS International arranges a series of the webinars with the theme "How to increase the purchase of food according to Diet for a Green Planet criteria in public catering" with more than a hundred participants in each seminar. With this we refine and define the practical tools that take sustainable food further.

We are proud and happy that Bio-District Sörmland won the prize today for this year’s "Best Organic District" at the #EUOrganicAwards 2024.
We also want to congratulate Kalf & Hansen, who are part of the district, for winning in the category of this year’s "Best Organic Restaurant."
What a wonderful day for Sweden’s organic actors!

We see this as a win for everyone who collaborates and works for organic development in Sweden, and now it becomes even more exciting to continue building and developing the district together!
