1. 1. An investigation of pea and cereal varieties for organic intercropping in Sweden

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

   Författare :Agnes Elise Matilda Wilson; [2024]
   Nyckelord :Intercropping; agroecology; organic; peas; cereals; heritage grains;

   Sammanfattning : Organic farming, intercropping and the conservation of landraces are agroecological methods of transitioning to a more sustainable and resilient agricultural system, however there is a lack of data on varieties suitable for organic intercropping. Therefore, two spatially parallel field trials were conducted with 11 pea varieties intercropped with oat, and 38 varieties of cereals (wheat, oat, and barley), in sole crops. LÄS MER

3. 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 Sciences

   Författare :Ida Ekqvist; [2024]
   Nyckelord :Land use efficiency; Sustainability indicators; Agricultural productivity; Food production;

   Sammanfattning : 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.

4. 3. Effective soil organic carbon monitoring in perennial agriculture systems - Sampling protocol development and evaluation

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Författare :Maja Holm; [2024]
   Nyckelord :Physical geography; ecosystem science; soil organic carbon; soil sampling; perennial crops; carbon sequestration; carbon farming; Kernza™; soil organic carbon stock; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : Perennial agriculture systems are gaining ground as a more sustainable alternative to conventional annual agriculture, partly for their potential to increase the soil organic carbon (SOC) content. Carbon farming is another hot topic for SOC sequestration, as it creates economic incentives for farmers. LÄS MER

5. 4. Regenerativt lantbruk: En kvalitativ studie om möjligheter och utmaningar med att driva ett lantbruk som regenererar jord och ekosystem

   Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för globala studier

   Författare :Julia Mattzon; Julia Mattzon; [2023-10-26]
   Nyckelord :Regenerative agriculture; regeneration; agricultural systems; sustainable development; planetary boundaries; climate crisis; food security; holistic management; social movement; relationship with nature; social well-being;

   Sammanfattning : Regenerative agriculture has recently received worldwide attention from researchers, policy makers, journalists, and farmers for its potential to regenerate degraded soil and ecosystems. It has been presented as a solution to address the challenges that the agricultural system faces today: food insecurity, negative environmental impact, economic chocks, and climate crises. LÄS MER

7. 5. UNDERSTANDING THE WEAK LINK BETWEEN EU’S FARM TO FORK STRATEGY AND THE REALITY - A case study in the Netherlands

   Magister-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

   Författare :Sharon Wilts Jansen; [2023-05-05]
   Nyckelord :Food transition; Farm to Fork; planetary boundaries; IPCC; sustainable development; Climate Change; EU; Sustainable Food Systems; The Netherlands;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to understand how the Farm to Fork Strategy is being implemented in the Netherlands, what dilemma’s are being discussed on national level and what role the government and MP’s play. The research is done through the lens of Multi Level Perspective in socio-technical transitions. LÄS MER
