7. Salvaging Death Worlds : Drivers and Barriers to the Adoption of Biogas and Biofertilizer Production Systems on Gotland
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknikAbstract : Utilizing an interdisciplinary, multi-level perspective analysis this thesis reviews niche- regime-landscape interactions (analogous to the clusters of actors working at the local level of Gotland representing niche; the regime being national governance goals; and the landscape incorporating global level affairs and institutions such as the European Union (EU)) and their (mis)alignments within the biogas/biofertilizer production system of Gotland, Sweden, a small-island case study for energy-food-transportation transition and sustainable destination development. The study analyzes the heterarchical and polycentric development of biogas on Gotland—a socio-technical niche, nested within a larger energy regime and global landscape for transition—developing an understanding of (mis)alignments of pressures interacting on, at, and between the niche-regime- landscape as they combine with the peculiar competencies, as Loorbach describes, “creative minds, strategists, and visionaries” of a cluster of actors working in the food- energy-transport nexus on the island (2010, p.

10. Analyses of microbial community in nutrient solution with biofertilizer and risk assessment of establishment of pathogens
University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologiAbstract : The societal interest for a more sustainable and circular food production is increasing. Hydroponic farming is an alternative way of growing vegetables that can bring farming into urban environments, reducing long transports of food. In parallel, the focus in waste treatment is being more directed toward resource recovery. READ MORE
