About the project The Hollannista Savoon (From the Netherlands to Northern Savo) project fosters cooperation between Dutch agricultural students and Northern Savo farms in Finland. It aims to strengthen international exchange, enhance awareness and skills, and build pathways for traineeships and work placements on farms. The project also compiles information about regional agriculture in English to support international engagement. The initiative is co-funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development through the Pohjois-Savo ELY Centre, with additional support from Olvisäätiö and participating farms.
