  3. 2. Shortening the chains : social relations and dynamics of production in Uppland's alternative food networks

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Författare :Eleni Katsika; [2023]
    Nyckelord :alternative food networks; food commoning; dynamics of production; political ecology; social relations; Sweden;

    Sammanfattning : 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

  7. 5. Production of natural pigments from A. platensis grown on wastewater from local treatment facility.

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Författare :Hana Faulds; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Cyanobacteria; pigments; microalgae; wastewater treatment; biotechnology; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : 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.
