Care Farming project

The aim of the Care farming project in the Region of South Savo is to develp nature and farm assisted care services in the farm contexts targeting the elderly, disabled and/or those suffering from mental health problems. In addition, evaluation research on the welfare and rural development effects of the care farming activities will be carried out as a part of the project. The Care farming project is a follow-up measure to the Green Care in South Savo (2012-2014) and it is implemented with the Mikkeli University of Applied Sciences (MAMK) as the lead partner.
