Utilization of
the local raw materials
This project is a sub-activity within the micro-support ”Rusta Bygden-fund”.
About the project
The Parish Council of Västra Torsås wants to strengthen knowledge in the community about how local raw materials can be utilized and processed. By organizing practical meetings where participants together learn, for example, fermentation, dairy production, and juice pressing, both knowledge and community are created.
The project is based on people meeting, sharing experiences, and getting to know each other while developing practical skills in local food processing. The initiative contributes to increased self-sufficiency, better resource utilization, and a stronger local network. After the project, the work continues through ongoing contact between participants and recurring activities in the community.
