The Experts and the Peasants: Academies, societies and commissions as institutional models for renewal in Swedish agriculture, 1739-1813
The purpose of this project is to analyze an overlooked development of Swedish expertise, the so called household committee´(Hushållskommittén) from 1793. This committee worked with varying intensity during the consecutive 20 years eventually leading to the forming of the Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture (Kungl. Lantbruksakademien) in 1811.
