Experiment 2000m2

Experiment 2000m2 takes on the incredibly difficult but exciting challenge of cultivating a good and healthy food culture that also considers its impact on the planet and the Baltic Sea.

Rosendal’s Garden has been working with new ways of cooking and different types of plants for a year and a half now, all with the aim of minimising the environmental impact.

2000m2 is around about how much farmland we each have per year for our food supply, based on the land being divided between as many people as we believe to be on the planet.

At the moment, the average Swede’s food supply accounts for around twice as much as this. The aim of the 2000m2 experiment is to make it possible to produce high-quality, healthy and sustainable food for every person, using a space of 2000 square metres.

The project requires co-operation on a large scale, and researchers, chefs, farmers, artists, communication and trade representatives have all come together to work on the project.

Recent research suggests that it is possible to produce food in a sustainable way for the 9.5 billion people who are expected to be living on earth by 2050, but it requires a substantial overhaul of the food systems we have today.

Experiment 2000m2 is a concrete example of how climate-friendly food can reduce CO2 emissions by 85%. Together we can turn research on sustainable development into a reality.
