Behind the scenes of Swedish Agriculture
Book an agricultural technical- or study tour in Sweden where you will meet people with your own interest. It will give you time to see, listen, compare and discuss the most important industry – to make food!
Sweden is one of the biggest countries in Europe, with the main part covered with forest and water. Only 7% is cultivated land. So, Sweden may not be the biggest country for farming, but we are proud of the way we invest in our agriculture, always aiming for a better environment and better animal health. Sweden is known for a high level of animal welfare and has one of the lowest use of antibiotics for livestock. There is also a large development of tourism and food production on many farms.
Enjoy Sweden from coast to coast with a mixed agricutural tour, from Gothenburg to Stockholm. Suggested program
Or why not take a tour from Copenhagen to Stockholm. Suggested program

Thanks to the Gulf Stream, Sweden have a good climate for agriculture with a growing season from early April and harvest from July to September. Since Sweden is such a long country (1572 km) the conditions for cultivating land vary greatly between the north and the south, with the south having almost 100 days longer growing period.
