Bl\u00e5slampan is a consumer award instituted by the organization Sveriges Konsumenter (Swedish Consumers’ Association) and the newspaper R\u00e5d & R\u00f6n. Each year, the award is given to a person or organization that has done something good for consumers. Axfoundation is today awarded the prize for their efforts in developing the future of food, work made together with researchers and experts in the entire food chain.<\/p>\n

“It feels really great! The purpose of all Axfoundation’s projects is to drive practical action and to contribute to real change. Without sustainable choices for the consumer, that change is not possible”, says Madeleine Linins M\u00f6rner, Program Director for Future Food at Axfoundation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We need to eat food that is good for people and the environment – now and in the future. If consumers are to be able to make the right choice, those options must exist and they must taste good.<\/p>\n

“We can stop flying and stop buying unnecessary gadgets in theory, but we will never be able to stop eating. That is why it is so important to provide consumers with sustainable choices”, says Madeleine Linins M\u00f6rner.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Motivation of the jury<\/h2>\n

The food of the future is on the dining table in the test kitchen at Tors\u00e5ker farm. the sustainability-focused organization Axfoundation brings together fishermen, researchers, farmers and the food industry, among others, to jointly develop food that is good for both people and the environment – and through that work contribute to the necessary transition. Legume mince, circular green rainbow trout and, and most recently, fish cakes on bream are three innovations from the farm that have ended up on store shelves. Enjoy your meal!<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

At Tors\u00e5ker farm, Axfoundation runs an experimental garden where we can experiment with different sustainable fertilizers, test different cultivation methods and try new old vegetable varieties – varieties that were previously grown in Sweden but which have basically disappeared.
