Livia Urban Swart Haaland

Founder of ØsterGRO Rooftop Farm | Copenhagen | Denmark
Livia is convinced that in cities, there is a huge potential of creating more nature. Green oases where we can gather, be in contact with nature and experience to work together with all the diversity of life that surrounds us. Therefore, she started the first rooftop farm in Denmark (ØsterGro), the greenhouse restaurant Gro Spiseri, the CSA FællesGro and recently the biggest urban farm in Scandinavia (Øens Have). Her huge passion as a gardener is to make people experience that we are all a part of an ecosystem, and acting according to that is key in a global regenerative development where we rebuild and bring balance to everything we have destroyed.
