Farms at unit dining facilities
The farm stands where the food is cooked. Personnel harvest daily and build routine and skills.
- Fixed fee per farm and month
- Staff trained in harvesting and care

Defence & preparedness
Fresh food that doesn’t depend on the next delivery.
Swegreen grows lettuce, cabbage and herbs on site – all year round, independent of imports, seasons and transport. For units, bases and central supply, in peacetime, heightened readiness and crisis.

The film is an illustration – we have no farms with defence forces yet.
The challenge
Fresh produce is the most vulnerable link in the supply chain.
Long supply chains
Vegetables often travel far, through many hands. When transport is disrupted, fresh produce is the first thing to disappear.
Imports and seasons
Much of the leafy greens many countries eat is imported. Availability and price depend on weather, season and world events.
Endurance
A varied, nutritious diet is part of personnel’s ability to perform and recover – over long periods.
Three concepts
A farm for every level of readiness.
The concepts can be combined. The same technology and routines are used in peace and in crisis – personnel train for what they will do when it matters.
Relocatable and standby farms
Active farms can be moved when the situation requires. Ready-to-start units in storage are activated when needed.
- Farms that move with operations
- Standby units ready to start
- Stock of seeds, nutrients and plugs
Central farm supplying several units
One large farm produces for several units and bases. Produce is delivered through your own logistics.
- Staffed by Swegreen
- Widest range of crops
- One fee per farm
Built to work when it matters.
