We are going to post free information here so people can volunteer for free.

Please leave comments to advertise your farm for free. Also, all farmers that register at pay sites, consider using a NAME for your farm that is special, and have a little page on the internet with contact info, or even post on a forum, that way people can search for your farm name and find your contact information. It is a good idea to have a name people can identify you by.

Volunteer at an environmental program in Sweden

Ecological volunteering – work with the environment and have a vacation at the same time .

1) Vaxhuset

http://www.vaxhuset.se/

In the summer welcomes volunteers to come and enjoy work and life  at Ekocentrum. Please contact them by email for more information. The address is info@vaxhuset.se

Welcome to come for a visit or to join a course or a camp here at Ekocentrum! Address: Mobodarne 857 S-826 93 Söderhamn Sweden
Telephone: 0046 270 42 70 50

2)Earthway Experience

What we can offer this year is the opportunity to experience the beginning of something special in the making. Lots of good work, good learning and a life experience never to forget! A bit like the summer before Dick Proenneke started filming “Alone in the Wilderness”

There is no cost to the Internship – although you will be expected to provide your own your own tent, sleeping bag, etc.

We will provide food for the time you are here. Expect lots of local favorites including moose, reindeer and fish. The Intern/Volunteers will be responsible for cooking themselves – but don’t worry it will be fun and a new Experience for some of you!

Positions start in May but it is possible to come in June if need be.

Other links I’m going to look into:

End of free information

These charge $250 registration I think.

the above is free, but  below they charge fees:

WWOOF is an exchange program. In return for volunteer help, WWOOF hosts offer food, accommodation and opportunities to learn about organic lifestyles.
They charge a 15 euro fee to register at the website,  which is ridiculous.

here is another pay site

I think Im going to set up a free classifieds system for work exchange programs in Sweden. In the meantime, feel free to leave comments.

Here is an excitingly vague  article that helpfully points out the two options humans have- die from hunger due to overtaxing natural resources with irresponcible and unmaintainable agribusiness ,or die from hunger because organic farming can’t feed them all. No mention of population control.

Assessing whether organic farming can feed the world requires more than a mere calculation. Simply dividing the total food supplies by the world’s population is not enough to ensure that everyone will have equal access to these food supplies.
