SOLUTIONS FOR A GREEN FUTURE 5 Essential for a sustainable society Lack of food, climate changes, energy shortages, scarce of land... The future challenges are many and great. Agriculture and forestry can provide solutions to several of them. Agriculture is often being blamed for environmental problems. But recently more people have begun to look upon farming with fresh eyes. Except being the base of the vital food production, agriculture could also provide “clean” and renewable energy. Agriculture and forestry could even become a key player in creating effective recycling and taking care of waste from the society. If this is successfully done, it can also increase the appreciation to a bigger group of people. How farmers can contribute to future challenges will be shown during the 56th IFAJ congress in Sweden. There will be presentations that show how agriculture is integrated with other activities in society. The future role of agriculture and forestry will also be discussed as well as more and new possibilities in the future. The demand on organically and locally produced food is as in many countries steadily increasing in Sweden. One big challenge for Swedish farmers is to make sure that the production of organic and small-scaled food is equivalent to demand. Today there is a little bit more than 72 000 farm businesses in Sweden. Milk stands for more than 20 percentage of the total value. It means that milk still is the single biggest agricultural product, though the amount of dairy cows is steadily decreasing. To learn more about Swedish agriculture and its role in the society it is a pleasure to welcome the members of IFAJ to Sweden and the 56th IFAJ congress “Solutions for a green future” between the 15th and the 19th of August 2012!
