Climate activists from Extinction Rebellion conducted a protest action on Thursday at the Swedish Agriculture Board's premises on Skeppsbron in Jönköping. The activists reportedly sat on the floor inside the authority's offices with banners, signs, and flags to protest how the authority conducts its work on agriculture and food supply. According to Extinction Rebellion, the action group requested a meeting with the leadership of the Swedish Agriculture Board.
The Swedish Agriculture Board stated it had no prior knowledge of the protest and received the activists at its entrance, with a representative planning to talk to them as requested. The protest is proceeding calmly and peacefully, with the authority approving a meeting to receive a letter from the activists. Police are on site but have not intervened, as no disturbances have been reported.
