In Sweden, agricultural prices and quantities have seen notable changes recently, partly influenced by environmental and policy shifts. For example, Swedish farmers have been encouraged to adopt eco-friendly farming practices, like intercropping for carbon sequestration and precision farming techniques. These methods are supported through eco-schemes, with varying subsidy amounts per hectare depending on the practice (e.g., up to €541 per hectare for organic potatoes). The government also emphasizes young farmer support, offering financial aid to newcomers, facilitating access to land and investmentSTATISTIKMYNDIGHETEN SCBFARM EUROPE.Additionally, Sweden has been addressing agricultural challenges through targeted direct payments, especially to livestock farms, as part of efforts to stabilize production in areas with less favorable crop conditionsFARM EUROPE.
