About DKL

Through Rättvik Municipality and Stiernhööksgymnasiet, which is the host organization for Dalarna's Competence Center for the Food Chain (DKL), we are driving a long-term effort to strengthen Dalarna's food chain – from farm to table.

DKL is a regional initiative for the future food system. We bring together education, research, businesses, and the public sector for a sustainable, innovative, and secure food chain – from farm to table. Through education, innovation projects, and preparedness efforts, we strengthen competence, resilience, and growth throughout Dalarna.

DKL operates based on Dalarna's food strategy 2030 and gathers all actors within the food chain. Through education, development efforts, and projects, we strengthen the region's food production, preparedness, and sustainability.

You will play a central role in translating DKL's operational plan into concrete results. This involves contributing to establishing new educational programs, initiating innovation and testing projects, strengthening food preparedness, and building long-term networks between businesses, educational actors, research, and authorities throughout the county.
