In the future vision, we hope to make full use of the rich natural resources and historical and cultural heritage of Järvafältet to create a diverse area that combines farming, culture, education, and more social inclusion function in the suburban of Stockholm, meeting the needs of different target groups the farmland can provide food for the city, it also can provide employment and leisure for the surrounding residents, let people in the urban area get close to nature and farming, and at the same time allows more people to understand the history and culture of Järvafältet.
In the south of the area, an open greenhouses area will be built to grow greenhouse vegetables. The area near the highway will be served as a mobile food market to provide fresh and convenient vegetables and transport the food to the city by bus. In the field, we hope to grow various crops, and build some mobile chicken coops etc. to provide a rich and varied farming experience for people. Furthermore, we hope that this area can host a variety of activities and meet the needs of different groups of people. For example, establish cooperation with schools to allow students to experience and learn history and agriculture. At the same time, we also hope to invite artists to enter the workshops in this area and create some artworks in the fields.
Besides, walking paths will be built to link the area and make the whole area become a network that can be reached easily. At some key nodes, we want to create small squares where different people can meet and hold activities. Street signs will be set along the walking paths, so that different groups of people can find their way easily. On a larger scale, we want to connect the area with the surrounding city, such as Eggeby Gård and Järva Disc Golf Park. There will be an entrance set in the south to attract people to the site.
In the short term the basic strategy is to make the most of the existing structures on the site and use movable temporary infrastructure, to ease the complicated procedures of government permission, and at the same time protect the ecology and nature of this area, using minimum intervention to achieve the maximum effect. Residents can jointly participate to create, operate and organize this area. It is hoped that this area can become a more dynamic and influential exemplary multicultural farm.
