The critical SARS epidemic is probably still fresh in everyone’s mind, particularly as new cases continue to develop from time to time. Foot and mouth disease and swine fever are other well-known and dreaded diseases. We believed that we knew how to deal with and prevent such diseases, but we have recently experienced massive outbreaks at close quarters.
Other new and deadly viral diseases, probably originating from wild animals, have led to massive epidemics in other animals species as wild animals colonise new sites close to humans and domestic animals, thus creating new infection pathways. Extreme tourism is a risk factor in this context. Forest fires, which can have their origins in global warming, have also been cited as a rea- son for animal displacement, for example of bats from Indonesia to Southeast Asia, with subsequent outbreaks of disease. A common factor in many of these new diseases is that they have their origins in areas densely populated by animals and humans in Asia. What are the risks of these diseases spreading to Europe and then to Sweden? What is being done to reduce these risks?

In the late 1980s there were at any one year well over 75 Swedish forestry experts working in Africa. Today, there are only around ten Swedish forestry experts working in Africa and the considerable experience and network of contacts that were build up during the period 1975–1990 are rapidly being lost. It is hoped that this report may contribute to a reawakened interest in again permitting Swedish know-how and comparative advantages in building capacity and institutions contribute to a real economic development oriented Sustainable Forest Management push in Africa.
Både handel och livsmedelstillverkare gör sig till uttolkare för konsumenternas behov, men görs det över konsumentens huvud? Riskerar utvecklingen att leda till minskad mångfald av producenter och därmed i förlängningen minskade valmöjligheter för konsumenten?
De senaste åren har befolkningen ökat i de flesta svenska kommuner genom invandring från utlandet. Det skapar nya utmaningar och nya möjligheter för landsbygden. Var kommer samtalet om lokala och regionala angelägenheter att föras? Vem skapar framtidens bild av land och stad? Texterna i denna skrift, skrivna av KSLA:s Kommitté för land och stad, publicerades under våren 2016 i ett 20-tal av MittMedias lokaltidningar.
