Summer farming as an intangible cultural heritage - the process and the result
The value of intangible cultural heritage (ICH), i.e. traditions, knowledge, customs and practices, which have been passed down between generations, has come into focus through the "UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage and the Register of Good Safeguarding Practices". Today, Sweden has no ICH and only one safeguard practice listed.

Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR)-Ethiopia
The FLR project (2017-2022) has a goal of restoring highly degraded forest landscapes, in vast highlands in north western Ethiopia, into productive agricultural and forest landscapes. The project will adopt a landscape-approach to forest restoration, which will look at the target areas from a multifunctional landscape perspective, combining natural resource management with environmental and social well-being.
