  1. 1. Farming without animals? The outlook for Biocyclic Vegan Agriculture as an alternative approach to food production in Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

    Författare :Kevin Edberg; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Sustainability Science; Biocyclic Vegan Agriculture; Multi-level Perspective; Sustainable transitions; Agri-food system; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Conventional agriculture and animal husbandry are leading causes of greenhouse gas emissions,environmental degradation, and biodiversity loss. Biocyclic Vegan Agriculture (BVA) is an approach that aims to address the concerns of modern agriculture and provide a sustainable and ethical alternative. LÄS MER

  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

  4. 3. Evaluation of novel climate-friendly feed for Nile tilapia in Tanzania

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Författare :Vilma Johansson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Black soldier fly; novel fish feed; circular aquaculture; sub-Sahara aquaculture; greenhouse gas emissions; LCA; Nile tilapia;

    Sammanfattning : Tanzania is a country located in sub-Sahara Africa by the Indian Ocean. Tanzania's aquaculture sector is small but has the potential to grow. As the population grows, so does the demand for food. Nile tilapia is the most cultured fish in Tanzania due to its hardiness, fast growth and tolerance to many environmental conditions. 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.
