1. 1. Relationship between waste management in student accommodation and students' knowledge of waste management in relation to energy transition

   Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Författare :Yong Lin; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Sustainable Development; Energy Transition; Waste Management; Waste Sorting; Pearson’s correlation coefficient; Student Accommodation;

   Sammanfattning : In the context of the current energy transition and sustainable development, the promotion of waste separation and waste management is a good means of promoting the energy transition. Waste, when recycled, can contribute to the energy transition in many ways, for example by generating electricity, heating, recycling into raw materials for reuse and producing biofuels. LÄS MER

3. 2. Shortening the chains : social relations and dynamics of production in Uppland's alternative food networks

   Nyckelord :alternative food networks; food commoning; dynamics of production; political ecology; social relations; Sweden;

   Sammanfattning : Current global food systems are characterised by a highly concentrated capitalist market where food is treated as a globalised hyper commodity and small-scale farmers are pushed into the side-line. The need for the transformation of that food system is urgent and acknowledged worldwide. LÄS MER

4. 3. Cultivating Resilient Local Food Systems: Identifying opportunities and strategies for sustainable public procurement

   Sammanfattning : The industrialization of the global food system has drastically altered agricultural practices, transitioning from small-scale, subsistence farming to large-scale, transnational supply chains dominated by agribusinesses. While this shift has increased productivity, it has led to environmental degradation, economic inequity, and loss of traditional agricultural knowledge. LÄS MER

5. 4. Production of natural pigments from A. platensis grown on wastewater from local treatment facility.

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

   Författare :Hana Faulds; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Cyanobacteria; pigments; microalgae; wastewater treatment; biotechnology; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : Although microalgae have been considered for the biological treatment of wastewater since the 1950’s, their potential to efficiently remove pollutants from various streams remains largely untapped and is yet to be utilized at large scale. The production of algal biomass and extraction of high-value compounds has, however, become increasingly popular with large scale farms and biorefineries around the world producing many promising alternatives to petroleum-based products and processes.
