1. Assessing water balance and yields in Malawian cropping systems : maize soybean and maize Gliricidia systems resilience against climate change
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentSammanfattning : In Malawi, maize monocultures are increasingly susceptible to extreme weather patterns, causing considerable yield reduction and heightened food insecurity for smallholder farmers dependent on rainfed subsistence agriculture. Diversifying cropping systems is crucial for ensuring yield resilience. 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. How commercialization rate impacts the profits of dairy farms in Kenya
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på grundnivå, SLU/Dept. of EconomicsSammanfattning : This study investigates the relationship between farm profitability and commercialization rates among smallholder farmers in Kenya. Through an analysis of data from 453 farms, the research examines several factors, including milk production, household size, education level, and livestock ownership, that can affect commercialization rate and dairy profit.

4. The potential use of black soldier fly larvae residue as a fertilizer
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Agricultural Biosystems and TechologySammanfattning : In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the primary constraint of agriculture productivity has consistently been ascribed to soil fertility. A common approach to improve soil fertility is the use of fertilizers, both organic and inorganic. Though recently interest is increasing in the use of newer alternatives like biostimulants. LÄS MER
5. Cultivating Resilient Local Food Systems: Identifying opportunities and strategies for sustainable public procurement
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : The industrialization of the global food system has drastically altered agricultural practices, transitioning from small-scale, subsistence farming to large-scale, transnational supply chains dominated by agribusinesses. While this shift has increased productivity, it has led to environmental degradation, economic inequity, and loss of traditional agricultural knowledge. LÄS MER
