Protein Tips: Producing More Organic Fodder Locally In Response to Climate Change
The aim of the project Protein Tips was to increase the amount of locally produced fodder, as a response to climate change, in order to reduce the need to import soy beans for protein fodder. Research showed that the use of locally produced protein fodder crops could considerably improve the climate friendliness of Sweden’s agricultural production. However, local farmers were hesitant to produce local fodder, due to the risk of poor harvests caused by pest infestations.
