About the project
The main idea is to combine modern knowledge and traditional knowledge in terms of food production and harvesting, where local food production and self-sufficiency are key elements.
Nord University’s contribution will be to develop a course and educational materials for establishing and operating school gardens. In addition, a course with accompanying teaching materials on traditional knowledge about food and harvesting from nature will be developed. The project also aims to conduct some research on traditional knowledge and local food production.
Testing and implementation of the course packages will take place in collaboration with Bodø Municipality, which is a leading municipality in this field.
The project partners are three municipalities (Bodø-NO, Kalix-SE, Korsholm-FIN) and three institutions (Nord university-NO, Luleå University of Technology-SE, and LUKE-FIN), which together form a complementary and learning network to develop good solutions for the mentioned challenges. LUKE-FIN is the leading partner in the project.
