- The climate will probably not get any better, but we will probably learn to live with the fluctuations that have been in recent years, both with drought and too much water, says Fredrik Andersson.

Together with his wife, Fredrik Andersson has been running the farm ecologically since 2008, with a requirement for breeding meat animals. They have between 500 and 700 cattle in the yard.

Affected by flood

In 2010, they experienced major problems with flooding on their farm because it was a lot of snow melting. They lost a lot of feed and felt they needed to do something.

In 2011, Fredrik Andersson started taking environmental measures on his farm together with the municipality of Västervik, in the project marine environment Gamlebyviken. Since then it has only become more and more.

"We have done, among other things, structural calcifications, phosphorus ditches, two-stage ditches, lime filter ditches and built a wetland," he says.

Measures against drought await

For the past four years they have instead had problems with drought in the yard, so the next project that starts in ours is about trying to regulate the water.

- It grows very poorly on the arable land when it is dry and then it often comes very rainy quickly. Then the water systems do not keep up and then there will be a large nutritional leakage that goes out into the Baltic Sea, says Fredrik Andersson.

The environmental measures have had an effect

Nutritional leakage from agriculture and livestock is the leading cause of eutrophication in the Baltic Sea, but measures are producing results.

- More farmers are starting to get involved now and the samples taken in the Baltic Sea over the past year show that the nutritional leaks have slowed down. It is clear that it is a spur to me and others that what we do also makes a difference.
