- We do this so that we can get a fairer picture of society. Today, many are asking "What does a living countryside cost?". Instead, we ask if we can afford urbanization and what will growing cities cost, explains the association's president, Marica Möller.

Want to spread knowledge

The association started on Tuesday and has not yet started operations. However, the idea is to disseminate knowledge based on research.

- Above all, we want to produce facts that are not visible today and then tell them about them. In this way, we get a new story about how the countryside can contribute to good climate development, and how the countryside has social benefits that also benefit the cities, so that we can work together instead of against each other. We want to try to influence opinions and politicians, through seminars and courses, among other things. In this way, we believe that there can be rings on the water, says Marica Möller.
