Worlds in Transition - Världar i Omställning

Worlds in Transition, or 'Världar i Omställning' as the podcast series is called in Swedish, focuses on the transitions to sustainable lifeforms that goes on in different places around the world today, where people make change happen through active engagement in their own communities. In this first series I focus on introducing the concept of 'Transition' in the Swedish speaking parts of Finland, while also making visible the people leading this grassroots revolution in this part of the world. Future pods will bring more examples from around the globe.

    Satu and Sami Kumpulainen about the Wonders of Wool from heritage breeds in Finland

    Satu and Sami Kumpulainen are siblings from Sievi in Ostrobothnia, Finland, who have dedicated their lives to sheep and wool. Together, they run the Isokummun farm and wool mill, which produces high quality yarn from the heritage breeds, Finnsheep and Kainuugrey. There are very few sheep farms focused on wool production in Finland simply because it is very hard to run this type of business—despite domestic wool being in high demand. Finland’s entry to the EU in 1995, and the lack of policies that would support domestic wool production, have left the country with a lack of infrastructure and know-how about the wool care for domestic sheep breeds. Due to this, most wool from sheep farms in Finland is considered a waste product and the indigenous Finnish breeds with high quality wool are in danger of going extinct. This is something that Satu and Sami want to change. Through the farm and mill operations at Isokummun, the Kumpulainen siblings aim to revitalize domestic wool production from heritage breeds in an ethically sound and environmentally friendly way. The Kumpulainens’ ethos is about fostering a respect for the indigenous Finnish sheep breeds and the incredible quality wool that these sheep can give us—if we care for them properly. In our conversation, we talk about what's so special about Finnish sheep breeds, the challenges sheep farmers have in Finland, and the rocky road taken by wool and yarn before it arrives to the shops.

    Åsa Vilhelmsson och Anders Assis om att regenerera landskap tillsammans med kor

    Åsa Vilhemsson och Anders Assis bor på Haskens i Sillerbo, i Hälsingland. Här driver de en gård enligt regenerativa principer. Utöver den egna gården jobbar Åsa som folkhögskolelärare och Anders förvaltar ett lokalmuseum i trakten. Deras resa in i det regenerativa har gått genom deras gemensamma intresse för historia och arkeologi. Berättelser om hur bondgårdar fungerade förr i tiden är något som alltid fascinerat dem och fått dem att själva bli intresserade av lantbruk. Men det var först när de kom i kontakt med Allan Savorys läror om holistic management som de började förstå hur allting hänger ihop. Det var som att ett svartvitt fotografi plötsligt fylldes med färger och gav en djupare mening till vad de håller på med. Den erfarenhet som de fått via sin egen verksamhet och den kunskap som de skapat tillsammans med andra regenerativa bönder fick Åsa och Anders att vilja utbilda och inspirera andra om dessa metoder. Därför har de nu startat en ett-årig utbildning i regenerativt lantbruk på Bäckedals folkhögskola i Sveg i Härjedalen. Kursen drivs av regenerativa pionjärer i Norden, och syftet är att tillsammans med andra lära sig förstå den komplexitet som finns i landskapet och den självorganiserande helhet som vi människor är en del av. I det här poddavsnitten diskuterar vi hur Åsas och Anders syn på lantbruk förändrats under åren men också om hur samspelet mellan människan, djuren, och jorden kommit att forma deras syn på sig själva och det landskap de är en del av.

    Kristen Krash: Regenerating the Land in the Ecuadorian Cloud Forest

    Kristen Krash has set up a small farm called Sueño de Vida in Pedro Vicente Maldonado in Ecuador. She has a university degree in history, which shines through in her reflections and observations on what happens on the land. After working for a long time as a yoga teacher and practicing inner transformation, Kristen felt a call to be of greater service, by doing something on a larger scale. This calling prompted her and her partner to move from the United States to start a small agroforestry farm in the cloud forests of Ecuador. Kristen’s vision is to set an example of how to do regenerative farming in tropical ecosystems by reconnecting to the ancient, Indigenous ways, of living off the land and re-introducing methods that were “stolen” from the people during the green revolution in the 60s and 70s. She says that to do this you have to be able to create a sense of economic and environmental security for the people living off the land. Drawing on her insights about the history of collapsed civilizations, what Kristen means is that how we produce nutrient dense crops that can feed people is central if we do not want to repeat the mistakes of the past. She wants to make clear that farming based on grazing animals is not always the best regenerative solution for the land, rather what kind of regenerative systems that should be put in place are highly dependent on where in the world the system is located. In her location, she believes that a system built on syntropic agroforestry practices, where you combine heavy tree pruning practices with other locally adapted agroecological systems will bring remarkable regenerative results.
