I am the Co-Founding Co-Executive Officer for VakeWorks in Uganda, formerly VakeWorks’ Research and Development + Certification and Compliance Coordinator. As a Food Scientist + Technologist, my conviction is that food security and nutrition only matter if the underlying systems actually work end-to-end.

My focus at VakeWorks is:

Coordinating Research and Development across our Ugandan farmer + producer network.
Certification and Compliance Services — bridging local regulatory + food-safety frameworks with VakeWorks’ radical-transparency commitments.
Empowering schools, farmers, consumers and processors through digital sovereign systems — applying the OpenEarth Network’s open standards to food + supply-chain integrity in East Africa.

I collaborate with farmers, schools, communities and processors to strengthen food safety, traceability, and post-harvest handling practices, building scalable + sustainable systems that improve product quality, nutrition, and supply-chain integrity.

VakeWorks offers a portfolio across farm products, digital sovereignty services + workshops/courses, consultancy services, and research outputs — all under the Transparency Pledge.

Farm products

Charcuterie + cured meats from our small Swedish farm.

Slow Charcuterie — beef, pork and other wild animals salted, smoked and slowly air-dried for three months in the cold and dry mountain airs of Jamtland (Jämtland). Expected in Summer 2026.
Forest Cows beef — from a unique herd of cows that graze freely in production forests at the very geographic midpoint of Sweden
Free Pigs pork — from our genebank of Swedish heritage breed of Linderodsvin (Linderödsvin) pigs raised freely and slowly in forests and fields

See Farm for the farm operation, methods, and forest-grazing approach.

Miðgarðr Family Farm and Genebank

Anläggnings-ID/SE-Number: 2201917 – Gim 248, Torpshammar 84175, Sweden

We share our journey as we become proud stewards of Swedish native breed of pigs called linderödssvin on the day after Christmas 2024! We show how we have sourced and transported bedding straw, made a water filtration system for a rejuvenated gravity-powered spring-fed well from the late 1800s, constructed outdoor water-drinking system that can withstand up to -30 degrees Celsius, engineered winter-friendly electric fence system, constructed a cosy and insulated winter home, prepared a few tonnes of hay silage from our biodiversity friendly pastures and provide finely crushed organic barley from our silo. We hope to work the land with our pigs using traditional farming methods, co-planting and co-breeding sovereign living genebanks of pigs and various seeds at our farm in the middle of Sweden, with one of the highest daily temperature difference at 62 degrees north that is ideal for experiments in climate resilient and regenerative living systems for food sovereignty and security, with minimal reliance on expensive farm machinery and without any reliance on agrochemicals from fossil fuels, but with ecological insights from classical field surveys and plant maps produced by our AI drones on our pastures and forests. We hope to use our pigs’ snouts in a timely manner during the spring, summer and autumn weeks to transform the landscape into a thriving biodiverse ecosystem. Looking forward to VakeWorks’ landscape transformation experiments with linderöd pigs at Miðgarðr Family Farm and Genebank!
