Palopuro Agroecological Symbiosis Pilot Project 2015-2016 This model of production and processing of local organic food is being developed through a project called “Palopuro Agroecological Symbiosis”, which is funded by the Ministry of Environment’s RAKI programme. The project partners include the participating producers and processors together with University of Helsinki (as the responsible partner) and LUKE Natural Resources Institute Finland.

After this discreet project (2016) the project will be carried forward by local businesses and research from a biophysical and social perspective will continue from the University of Helsinki.
