1. Effective soil organic carbon monitoring in perennial agriculture systems - Sampling protocol development and evaluation
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : 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
2. Systemdesign för miljövänliga och kostnadseffektiva reservkraftsystem : Undersökning av alternativa reservkraftsystem för en livsmedelsindustri
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/ElektricitetsläraSammanfattning : Backup power is essential to supply important functions in society with electricity in case of a blackout. Today in Sweden most backup generators are based on diesel fuel and seldom used, but they are still associated with bad environmental impact while operating. LÄS MER
3. Shortening the chains : social relations and dynamics of production in Uppland's alternative food networks
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural DevelopmentSammanfattning : Current global food systems are characterised by a highly concentrated capitalist market where food is treated as a globalised hyper commodity and small-scale farmers are pushed into the side-line. The need for the transformation of that food system is urgent and acknowledged worldwide. LÄS MER
4. Interacting futures of the Swedish food system
Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Stockholm Resilience CentreSammanfattning : Food systems are complex social-ecological systems. Currently, they are the source of large-scale health problems and environmental impacts, and there is widespread agreement that transformative change is needed. Scenarios are useful tools for directing such change, as they provide engaging future visions that work well with complex systems. LÄS MER
5. Production of natural pigments from A. platensis grown on wastewater from local treatment facility.
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/BioteknikSammanfattning : Although microalgae have been considered for the biological treatment of wastewater since the 1950’s, their potential to efficiently remove pollutants from various streams remains largely untapped and is yet to be utilized at large scale. The production of algal biomass and extraction of high-value compounds has, however, become increasingly popular with large scale farms and biorefineries around the world producing many promising alternatives to petroleum-based products and processes.
