They explore the future Jæren Landscape

This is the title on the journalist Odd Pihlstrøms article in Stavanger Aftenblad Monday the 15th of February. Odd Pihlstrøm opened up and connected us to a series of voices in the Jæren agricultural Landscape. Four of this voices, and Odd Pihlstrøm, attended our debate studio set up at Ona Lighthouse (see the attached article) in a beautiful afternoon on the brim of the Atantic. An open and intense discussion took place for three hours, with the student eagerly participating – Oh What a Perfect Day.
On our three day journey in Jæren, brilliant organized by Alice Labadini, we set up five such studios in different places with impressive participation from cutting edge environments in Stavanger. De utforsker framtidens jærlandskap - PDF

Thouching on Jæren agriculture and water systems

In the Mosaïc Region concept (our 1. prize in the Øresund Vision 2040 competition) the aspect of survival and food production and the 100 mile diet was explored. Our guest writers in this concept, the journalist Peter Sylwan and Professor in Agriculture at Ellen Braaaes institute in Copenhagen, Jörgen Primdahl, unfolded possible futures in this field - in Swedens most valuable agricultural field, Skåne. In a conversation with Maya, in our studio, we agreed that she had started a path of detecting new and interesting projects in the Jæren territory. What elements of new thinking is out there, was posed as a question. And we thought of the possibility of “painting a tableau” of the experimental Jæren to come. Following up this dialogue I have been in search of, and made contact with, some smart experts that can explore this together with us.
