  1. 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 Environment

    Författare :Danila Valeriano; [2024]
    Nyckelord :crop modelling; APSIM; Malawi; maize; soybean; Gliricidia; agroforestry; legume intercropping; climate predictions; climate adaptation; SDSM;

    Sammanfattning : 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

  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. The evolution of wetland restoration policy - A case study of Kristianstad Vattenrike

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Författare :Alexander Palmér; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Wetlands; Kristianstads Vattenrike; Collective action; Social norms; Policy attributes; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Social Sciences; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Wetlands are vital for biodiversity, socio-ecological systems, and carbon sequestration, but they present a complex challenge in crafting effective conservation policies. This study investigates a successful case of wetland conservation policy, focusing on the notable achievements of Kristianstad Vattenrike. LÄS MER

  5. 4. 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

  7. 5. Systemdesign för miljövänliga och kostnadseffektiva reservkraftsystem : Undersökning av alternativa reservkraftsystem för en livsmedelsindustri

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

    Författare :Philip Clarstedt; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Backup power; Reservkraft; Hybridsystem; Batterilager; Mikrogasturbin; Dieselgenerator;

    Sammanfattning : 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
