  1. 1. Assessing water balance and yields in Malawian cropping systems : maize soybean and maize Gliricidia systems resilience against climate change

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Författare :Danila Valeriano; [2024]
    Nyckelord :crop modelling; APSIM; Malawi; maize; soybean; Gliricidia; agroforestry; legume intercropping; climate predictions; climate adaptation; SDSM;

    Sammanfattning : In Malawi, maize monocultures are increasingly susceptible to extreme weather patterns, causing considerable yield reduction and heightened food insecurity for smallholder farmers dependent on rainfed subsistence agriculture. Diversifying cropping systems is crucial for ensuring yield resilience. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Shifting focus from yields to food supply : an evaluation of the ‘number of people fed per hectare’ indicator at farm and national level

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Författare :Ida Ekqvist; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Land use efficiency; Sustainability indicators; Agricultural productivity; Food production;

    Sammanfattning : The challenge of feeding a growing global population while reducing the pressure on climate and ecosystems has gained much attention in research over the last decades. A crucial yet often overlooked aspect in research addressing this complex challenge is the efficiency of food production in meeting nutritional needs within the constraints of global cropland resources.

  4. 3. Kartläggning av krisberedskapen på nötkreatursgårdar i Uppland : en intervjustudie av lantbrukares uppfattningar om sårbarheter och styrkor i beredskapen på mjölk- och köttgårdar

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Författare :Christine Dahl; [2024]
    Nyckelord :nötkreatur; ko; mjölkko; kris; krisberedskap; beredskap; beredskapsplan; lantbrukare; resiliens;

    Sammanfattning : Primärproduktionen, där animalieproduktion är en del, behöver kunna fortgå trots störningar så som mer extrema väderförhållanden med långdragen torka eller kraftiga skyfall, större sjukdomsutbrott eller i värsta fall väpnad konflikt. Idisslare har en viktig roll i vår livsmedelsförsörjning men i dagsläget vet vi väldigt lite om hur den enskilda gården skulle påverkas vid olika samhällsstörningar. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Integrating Waste Heat from Hydrogen Production Into District Heating

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Författare :Fawzi Kayali; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Hydrogen; Electrolysis; Waste Heat Recovery; Combined Heat and Power Plant; District Heating; Simulation; Sustainable Heating Systems; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this research is to explore the feasibility of the integration of waste heat from electrolyzers within a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant and district heating (DH) network and suggest a practical setup for integration. With the escalating emphasis on the development of green hydrogen through electrolysis powered by renewable energy, a substantial amount of waste heat is generated, typically left unused. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Mapping the pig value chain in the Dominican Republic with emphasis on the risk of transmission of African swine fever

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Författare :Andrea Hentz; [2023]
    Nyckelord :African swine fever; Domestic pig; Value chain mapping; Pig production; Biosecurity; Disease risk;

    Sammanfattning : As in many other parts of the world, pigs provide an important source of food and income in the Dominican Republic (DR). However, the pig production in the country faces great challenges since African swine fever (ASF) was reintroduced in 2021, after being absent for over 40 years. LÄS MER
