  1. 1. Cereals as ‘leftover biomass’ : an analysis of Swedish cereal production from the perspective of feed-food competition

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Författare :Beatrice Tillgren; [2021]
    Nyckelord :feed-food competition; left-over biomass; low‐opportunity‐cost feedstuff; cereals; cereal quality; wheat; rye; barley; oats; Swedish cereal production;

    Sammanfattning : In a time with climate change and a growing population it is important to use the arable land as effectively as possible to ensure food security and minimize environmental impacts. Currently, livestock production uses 70% of all agricultural land which highlights the competition between the usage of land for crops for feed rather than for human consumption. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Agro-ecological diversification in meat and dairy farms : barriers and drivers in the European and Swedish policy

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

    Författare :Chiara Pia; [2020]
    Nyckelord :agricultural policy; agro-ecological diversification; CAP; feed-food competition; policy analysis; Rural Development Programme;

    Sammanfattning : Food systems are increasingly characterised by specialisation and separation between ani-mal and crop production, as well as the use of food suitable for human consumption for feed. The regionalisation of production creates hotspots for environmental degradation and decreases the resource use efficiency. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Delicious Sustainability? : Synergies and goal conflicts between eating quality and environmental sustainability in Swedish beef production

    Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Stockholm Resilience Centre

    Författare :Kajsa Resare Sahlin; [2018]
    Nyckelord :beef; eating quality; environmental sustainability; “less but better”; sustainability assessment; quality grading;

    Sammanfattning : Improved production and reduced consumption of beef is often highlighted as key aspects for tackling sustainability issues of the food system because the environmental impact of beef is ~100 times higher than plant-based foods. Both scientist and civil society organisations argue that eating “less but better” beef is important for sustainability. LÄS MER
