Anders comes from Hanebo in Bollnäs and is a full-time farmer. He grew up in a long tradition of farming and forestry. Until 2005, Anders had dairy cows, but now he has a herd of cows that keep the landscape open in Hanebo and Segersta. He runs his own forestry business and has previously had a forestry contracting company.
Already in his youth, Anders was involved in issues related to agriculture and forestry, among other things, he was chairman of his local LRF department. He is passionate about local food production and likes to emphasise the important role of grazing animals in the cultural landscape. When there is some spare time, Anders likes to devote himself to sport shooting.
