  1. 1. The potential use of black soldier fly larvae residue as a fertilizer

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Agricultural Biosystems and Techology

    Författare :An-Marthe Ingelaere; [2023]
    Nyckelord :organic waste; fertilizer; black soldier fly; residue; physico-chemical characteristics; sub-Saharan Africa; socio-economic constraints;

    Sammanfattning : 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

  3. 2. Farmers Coping with Market Shock : a multiple case study of Agricultural SMEs

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Författare :Jesse Harder; [2023]
    Nyckelord :agriculture; market shock; crop farms; risk management; resilience; decision-making; adaptation; price volatility; coping strategies; market uncertainty; Ukraine war;

    Sammanfattning : This research explores how agricultural SMEs are coping with the agricultural market shock mainly caused by Russian-Ukraine war outbreak in February 2022. The research paper is guided by three research questions investigating 1) the impacts of the current market shock on farms, 2) the coping strategies and decisional motivation of farmers, and 3) the planned adaptations and learnings of the farmers.

  4. 3. Increase of biogas production by incorporating residual streams from agriculture

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Författare :Stephanie Fjäll; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Anaerobic digestion; Agricultural residue; Lignocellulosic biomass; Mechanical pretreatment; Biogas production; Biorefinery; Chemical engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : To expand the biogas production in Region Västra Götaland (RVG), residual streams from the agricultural sector can function as a large-scale supplier of biomass. The production of biogas decreases the dependence of fossil fuels and the digestate that is formed can also be returned to the agricultural sector, creating a closed loop. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Soil carbon relations in Swedish agriculture : A GIS analysis and literature review of soil characteristics at farm level

    Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för tema

    Författare :Christiane Schulze; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Carbon sequestration; Crop yield; Management practices; Soil organic carbon; Soil organic matter; Sweden; northern Europe;

    Sammanfattning : Carbon storage in agricultural soils is an important measure to mitigate climate change. As the soil management techniques can greatly influence the amount of carbon stored in agricultural soils, the influence of different managements was analyzed in a literature review for northern Europe and Sweden.

  7. 5. Thermochemical energy utilization of biomass in Rwanda - a screening of potential feedstocks

    Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Författare :Felix Johansson Carne; [2022]
    Nyckelord :bioenergy; agricultural; residues; waste; agroforestry; africa; energiteknik; bioenergi; jordbruksrester; afrika; termokemisk; bränslen;

    Sammanfattning : Traditional bioenergy practices in sub-Saharan Africa involve collecting natural forest wood and burning it in simple fireplaces for household cooking. This is actually still very common, especially in rural areas. The situation is unfortunately connected to health issues, inequality and natural forest degradation and deforestation. LÄS MER
