Swedish Farmers Worried About New Nature Law

Published: 2024-07-07

In response to the new EU nature conservation law, Swedish farmers are expressing concerns about increased regulations stifling their creativity.

The law mandates the restoration of 200,000 football fields' worth of land to natural grazing areas.

Farmers Kristian and Saga Svensson already practice natural grazing with their 80 Hereford cattle but fear the new rules may bring additional costs and requirements.
