1. Effective soil organic carbon monitoring in perennial agriculture systems - Sampling protocol development and evaluation
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Perennial agriculture systems are gaining ground as a more sustainable alternative to conventional annual agriculture, partly for their potential to increase the soil organic carbon (SOC) content. Carbon farming is another hot topic for SOC sequestration, as it creates economic incentives for farmers. LÄS MER
2. What about perennial grains? : structures towards a sustainable grain production in Sweden
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of EconomicsSammanfattning : This thesis aims to create an understanding of how structures affect grain producers’ work with sustainability, and to investigate if perennial grains can be part of the future grain production in Sweden. The agricultural sector is facing a dilemma, both to ensure that ecosystem services are kept intact but also to keep up the global food supply for the growing population. LÄS MER
3. Ogräskontroll : i odlingssystem utan glyfosat och med liten användning av herbicider och jordbearbetning
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Crop Production EcologySammanfattning : Ogräs har oftast större betydelse för en grödas avkastning än både skadeinsekter och växtsjukdomar. Ogräskontroll sker i huvudsak med användning av herbicider och jordbearbetning. En överanvändning av selektiva herbicider under lång tid har lett till att ogräspopulationer har utvecklat resistens mot dessa. LÄS MER
4. Reimagining agriculture with perennial crops : a study on the diffusion of innovation and soil ecosystem services in the new perennial grain Kernza
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)Sammanfattning : Perennial crops have been identified as a pathway to implement ecological intensification, which in extent could make agriculture more socio-economically and ecologically sustainable. This is a master thesis in Agroecology – a growing scientific discipline that aims to investigate problems in the food system using a holistic and transdisciplinary approach, incorporating and integrating both natural and social sciences to transform the food system.

5. The potential of breeding perennial grain legumes for swedish climates : a literature study and a pilot experiment on polyploidy
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)Sammanfattning : In consideration of both the struggle facing smallholders and rural societies in Sweden and the environmental crisis, the potential of breeding and cultivation of perennial legumes in Sweden has been examined. The essay is comprised of a literature study and a pilot experiment. LÄS MER
