The proposed strategy is to transform Ærø into an experimentarium for a new sustainable agricultural direction. The focus is on plant-based food rather than animal fodder, and the nature is the dominant layer. Through reforestation, the creation of wild nature areas and the reestablishment of wetlands, the strategy will offer an increased biodiversity and enhance the wellbeing of the residents.
