The church wants to expand its anti-vulnerability efforts

The church in Tomelilla called the municipality – the local authority responsible for, among other things, schools, social services and elder care – to a meeting. The background was growing concern about poor mental health in Tomelilla and a sense that more residents are doing badly and need support.

According to the deaconry worker in Tomelilla rural parish, the meeting concluded that the church and the municipality share the view that vulnerability in society has increased. The church now wants to see closer cooperation with the municipality. Ystads Allehanda

Agriculture is being prepared for extreme weather

Downpours and droughts may become more common and make agriculture more vulnerable. One way to make the soil more resilient is so-called regenerative farming, which involves more living roots and organic matter in the soil while the soil is tilled less.

At Ly-Ros farm in Bjuv, the method is being tested after harvests became so poor that it was difficult to achieve profitability. The farm uses so-called catch crops – plants grown between two main crops that keep the soil covered with vegetation for much of the year. An environmental objectives strategist at Jordbruksverket says that it is about reducing risks. SVT Nyheter Helsingborg
