  1. 21. Assessing the Impacts of Climate Change and Water Scarcity on Agricultural Practices in Kenya -Implications for Adaptation Strategies

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Sanjina Rahi Oishee; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Climate Change; Agriculture; Temperature; Precipitation; Water Scarcity; Agro-Climatic Zone; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Like other African countries, Kenya’ economy and food security is heavily dependent on agriculture. Climate change has led to variability in temperature and precipitation, and extreme weather events such as droughts and floods, all of which can significantly impact crop productivity and food security in the long-term.

  3. 22. Review of pH recommendations for soilless cultivation systems

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

    Författare :Elric Fabricius; [2023]
    Nyckelord :soilless cultivation; hydroponics; aeroponics; NFT; nutrient film technique; DWC; deep water culture; pH; nutrient solution; speciation; availability; biomass production;

    Sammanfattning : Our human population is growing, and with that, so is our demand for food, food that today still is not a guarantee for all of us. To help increase global food security, the diversification of our food production through the implementation of soilless, hydroponic cultivation systems has been suggested. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Modelling organic farming systems : is livestock needed for a functioning nitrogen cycle and food production?

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

    Författare :Franziska Johanna Galler; [2023]
    Nyckelord :organic farming; livestock; stockless farming; nitrogen cycle; nitrogen use efficiency; nitrogen recycling; nutritional value; human nutrition; food system;

    Sammanfattning : Livestock has always been an integral part of nutrient management on organic farms. Environmental, economic and idieological trends are leading to an increasing specialization of agriculture away from mixed farms with livestock. LÄS MER

  5. 24. WASTEWATER REUSE FOR IRRIGATION : Investigation of heavy metals and pharmaceuticals impact on crop irrigation

    Master-uppsats, Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Författare :Abusah Paschal; [2023]
    Nyckelord :treated wastewater; sewage farms; wastewater treatment plant; freshwater; systematic literature review; contaminants; salinity; carbon content; plant yield;

    Sammanfattning : The use of treated wastewater (TWW) for crop irrigation is how many governments are looking to feed their large population due to urbanisation. Here, we outline and analyse the benefits of using TWW and the drawbacks of such practices in line with existing regulations. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Growing on the roof : But in what? Examing substrates/growing media for rooftop farming

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Författare :Mikael Brocki; [2023]
    Nyckelord :urban rooftop agriculture; URTA; green roof; substrate; growing medium; organic matter; compost; vegetable; crop; yield; lettuce; tomato; pore; pore-size distribution;

    Sammanfattning : Urban Rooftop Agriculture (URTA) is a novel field within urban vegetable production, which can help create access to local food in a rapidly urbanizing world. For these systems to succeed, it is vital to implement a proper choice of substrate/growing medium (SGM). LÄS MER
