1. 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 SciencesSammanfattning : 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.

2. Heritability of methane emission in Swedish Red cattle in northern Sweden
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsSammanfattning : Dairy cattle contribute a significant proportion of greenhouse gases (GHG), mainly methane (CH4), among other livestock species. Methane has a negative impact on climate; therefore, its reduction is a top priority for a sustainable dairy production system. LÄS MER

5. Avelsarbetets roll i kampen mot antibiotikaresistenta bakterier : hur kan avel och genredigering reducera behovet av antibiotikatill produktionsdjur?
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsSammanfattning : Antibiotikaresistenta bakterier utgör ett globalt hot för både sjukvård och livsmedelsproduktion då de begränsar möjligheten att behandla bakterieinfektioner hos både människor och djur. Förekomsten av resistenta bakterier växer globalt till följd av överflödig och felaktig användning av antibiotikapreparat. LÄS MER
