1. Analysis of winter wheat and leafhoppers for wheat dwarf virus : factors causing outbreaks of wheat dwarf disease
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, SLU/Department of Plant Biology (from 140101)Sammanfattning : Wheat dwarf disease is caused by wheat dwarf virus (WDV) and is transmitted by the leafhopper Psammotettix alienus. The disease has been reported in many European countries, as well as in West Asia, China, and one country in North Africa. LÄS MER
2. Shifting focus from yields to food supply : an evaluation of the ‘number of people fed per hectare’ indicator at farm and national level
Master-uppsats, SLU/Department of Molecular SciencesSammanfattning : The challenge of feeding a growing global population while reducing the pressure on climate and ecosystems has gained much attention in research over the last decades. A crucial yet often overlooked aspect in research addressing this complex challenge is the efficiency of food production in meeting nutritional needs within the constraints of global cropland resources.

3. On-farm slaughter and emergency slaughter in Sweden : prerequisites for reducing food loss of pigs and cattle
Master-uppsats, SLU/Department of Molecular SciencesSammanfattning : Although consumers are responsible for much food waste, recent studies have shown significant losses on farm-level. A recent report published by the Swedish Board of Agriculture presented that 3% and 8% of pigs and cattle are lost respectively, requesting further research regarding the potential in salvaging meat through on-farm slaughter (OFS) and on-farm emergency slaughter (OFES).

4. Cultivating oleaginous yeast on spent mushroom substrate and logging residues hydrolysate : an assessment of yeast growth on side product substrates from the food, agriculture, and forestry industry
Master-uppsats, SLU/Department of Molecular SciencesSammanfattning : There is an interest in finding alternatives to vegetable oils because of negative environmental impact. Many green sectors generate an abundant amount of side products that are inedible and consist in large of lignocellulose rich materials. LÄS MER
5. Study of the effects of the operating conditions of a decanter centrifuge on a pilot-scale protein recovery setup from cold-pressed rapeseed press cake
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)Sammanfattning : There is significant evidence to suggest that diets that include high levels of meat consumption have negative effects on both the environment and human health. As a result, efforts are being made to identify and characterize more plant-based proteins, such as those found in rapeseed. LÄS MER
