Changed consumption patterns and behaviors give rise to new demands on future methods for production and handling of food. Imports of fish and vegetables represent a significant proportion of consumption, 80% of fish and vegetables, and the popularity of these foods is increasing. Consumers are also increasingly demanding sustainable food and locally produced food. Therefore, locally and sustainably produced food is one of the most important factors in securing and developing the future of the Swedish food industry.

Circular and sustainable food production Why?

Because by now we know this! Substantial population growth means that we must increase food production to double. But we have to get smarter. Increased immigration to the cities entails social and urban stress. We must move production closer to cities and minimize transportation. Increased demand for food means increased stress on our supply systems and our environment. We must create sustainable production systems. Increased demand for fish and meat puts strain on an already depleted fish stock and over-consumption of agricultural land. We must produce in circular intensive systems. Increased need for clean water entails requirements for planning, economy and restraint of our water resources. We must reuse and conserve water resources. Our modern lifestyle is that we create huge anthropogenic garbage dumps. We must learn to take advantage of everything in a cycle. More powerful weather changes disrupt existing agriculture and consume water resources. Production in-house ensures control.

If the environmental aspects are not enough, maybe cash is! Europe imported the following 2018 Goods at a total value of about SEK 22,586 billion. Fish, crustaceans, molluscs, etc. to the value of about SEK 240 billion. Edible vegetables, some roots etc. to a value of about SEK 54 billion. Edible fruits, nuts, melons, etc. to the value of about SEK 240 billion. Oilseeds, oil fruits, cereals, seeds, fruits etc. worth about SEK 120 billion. Mineral fuels, oils, distillation products, etc. to a value of about SEK 4716 billion, Raw hides, skins and leather worth about SEK 31 billion.

Hybrid cooling chain, 2013 Sustainable, circular and mutualistic Vatten, temp. < 60ᵒC  Jäsning 32 - 37ᵒC  Varmvatten fisk 25 - 32ᵒC  Växthusdrift 18 - 22ᵒC  Kallvatten arter 10 - 18ᵒC Näringsämnen från organiska sidflöden Hybrid cooling chain, 2013 Sustainable, circular and mutualistic production builds e.g. on the relationship between the ability of fish and plants to draw benefit from each other's residual flows. Cycle: Residual heated water from the industry Manufacturing of fertilizers On shore fish farm, species that live in warmer water Greenhouse operation On shore fish farm, species that live in colder water Finally, the cooled water is led back to Industry Nutrients are extracted and processed and purified between fish and greenhouses.

The area offers an existing infrastructure adapted for sustainable and circular food production. Food-approved properties, Detailed planned land, high-capacity biological wastewater treatment plant and residual products can be handled by the biogas plant. Bjuv municipality and neighboring landowners focus on sustainable food production and offer expansion opportunities. The Food Valley of Bjuv is a cluster where entrepreneurs and innovators come together to develop the future of food production and food companies. Nätverk och samarbete mellan forskning, företagare och industri är en viktig del för att möta framtida konsumenters efterfrågan på marknaden. Food Valley of Bjuv har flera fokusområden; hållbar matproduktion - Green Impact Industry Park, landbaserad fiskodling, växthusodling, extraktion av vegetabiliskt protein, innovativ förpackningsindustri och utveckling av relaterad stödjande industri. INDUSTRIPARK Green Impact Industry Park, som drivs av FoodHills , är ett viktigt element i Food Valley of Bjuv och beskrivs bäst som en innovationsmotor för små och medelstora företag. Industriparken skapar förutsättningar för utbyte av kunskap mellan företag med ambitionen att skala upp sin verksamhet nationellt som internationellt. Norra Europas största, mest energieffektiva och automatiserade fryslager, som drivs av Kloosterboer , ligger i industriparken. Industriparken ligger i hjärtat av Skåne, Sveriges viktigaste region för livsmedelsproduktion och jordbruk. Green Impact Industry Park är platsen för utveckling av framtida livsmedelsproduktion och livsmedelsföretag, eftersom konsumenternas förändrade behov och beteenden ställer nya krav på framtidens livsmedel.  Kort sagt är detta hållbart, klimatsmart livsmedelsproduktion i industriell skala. We belive in taking use of residuals, onshore fish farms and indoor farming in circular Food parks
