  1. 1. TRADITIONAL ECOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE IN AGRICULTURE FOR ADAPTATION/ RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHANGE: HIGH MOUNTAIN ASIA

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Dulani Lavanya Samarasekara Witharana; [2023-06-22]
    Nyckelord :climate change adaptation; resilient agroecosystems; Hindu Kush Himalaya; indigenous knowledge; traditional farming; traditional ecological knowledge;

    Sammanfattning : Mountain agricultural systems in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) are in a unique position to contribute to promoting nature-based solutions in adaptation and resilience to climate change since they are least impacted by the influence of commercial high-production agriculture. This study aims to explore currently available literature for evidence of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) based agriculture in the HKH region and analyse their contribution to region and location specific climate change adaptation.

    Nyckelord :Minor Field Study; sustainable agriculture; multi-cropping; responsible production; Ratchaburi; Thailand; Minor Field Study; hållbart jordbruk; biologisk mångfald; hållbar production; Ratchaburi; Thailand;

    Sammanfattning : Agriculture is facing many challenges, such as decreased biodiversity, soil erosion, water scarcity, and social inequality, because of industrial farming and its focus on high yields at the expense of sustainability. This also includes Thailand and the province of Ratchaburi. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Material av restprodukter från hampa till produktdesign

    Kandidat-uppsats, Malmö universitet/Institutionen för konst, kultur och kommunikation (K3)

    Författare :Daniel Gezavati; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Industrial Design; Sustainability; Hemp; Material Innovation; By-products; Upcycling; Industridesign; Hållbarhet; Hampa; Restprodukter;

    Sammanfattning : This paper is a research through design that answers the question: How can the by-products from hemp production be utilized to create a sustainable material for product design?Hemp is the commercial crop that sequesters carbon dioxide most effectively in the world, but large amounts of bast fibers and hurd emerge as by-products ater cultivation for seeds, flowers, and leaves. These by-products can be difficult for farmers to manage as they require space for storage and often must undergo a lengthy production process before they can be converted into products. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The effect of knowledge on farmers’ intercropping adoption decisions : the perspective of Swedish farmers

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Författare :Frida Svensson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Adoption; adoption intensity; double-hurdle model; knowledge; intercropping;

    Sammanfattning : Intercropping is sustainable from both an economic and environmental point of view since it can increase yields, decrease input costs, make efficient use of available growth resources, increase crop biodiversity and natural biodiversity, suppress pests and diseases, and reduce land degradation. This makes the uptake of the practice important for future sustainable agricultural. LÄS MER

  7. 5. En hållbart intensifierad slåttervall med vitklöver : en litteratursammanställning

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Författare :Johanna Forss; [2023]
    Nyckelord :etablering; kväve; skördesystem; Trifolium repens; vall; vitklöver;

    Sammanfattning : Fördelarna med att inkludera vall i växtföljden är många, till exempel kolinlagring, markförbättrande egenskaper och ogräsbekämpning. Intresset för odling av vall ökar när det finns fler avsättningsmöjligheter och ses som ett medel för att uppnå en hållbar intensifiering av odlingssystemet. LÄS MER
