    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Författare :Kalle Nils Valentin Köster; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Biospheric Values; Diversity; Grain Legumes; Willingness-to-pay;

    Sammanfattning : Grain legume cultivation is promoted to be beneficial for Swedish agriculture due to grain legumes´ ability to engage in biological nitrogen fixation, function as break-crops in cereal-based cropping systems and a general increase in biodiversity. Furthermore, grain legumes are an important pillar of more sustainable diets. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Increase of biogas production by incorporating residual streams from agriculture

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Författare :Stephanie Fjäll; [2022]

    Sammanfattning : To expand the biogas production in Region Västra Götaland (RVG), residual streams from the agricultural sector can function as a large-scale supplier of biomass. The production of biogas decreases the dependence of fossil fuels and the digestate that is formed can also be returned to the agricultural sector, creating a closed loop. LÄS MER
