Farmers Incubator

Stadsbruk’s Incubator aims to increase the number of local/ecological farmers in Swedish Cities. This is done through agripreneurship training (agricultural entrepreneurship) and with a strong collaboration with the Gothenburg municipality who offer access to land.

The aim is achieved by gathering, creating, testing and sharing successful business models relevant to the farmers context: low investment, small surfaces, direct sales and high sustainable values. It consists of a winter training program where 10 new entrepreneurs per year get access to the network, training, workshops and support throughout the farming season. At the end of each season, a feedback is given to the municipality to help in the selection process for land access.

Through increasing number of entrepreneurs, we believe in boosting the number of farmers, make a better use of empty and/or farming land in and outside of the city and contribute to reduced transport and packaging, furthermore increase consumers knowledge about the environmental impact of the food system.
