    Author : Jonathan Lindén; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Climate change and loss of biodiversity are currently two of the most imminent global threats caused in part by agricultural practices. With the rise of computer vision, the use of precision farming has become a viable technique to optimise food production. READ MORE

  3. 12. Effects of the new Swedish strategic Plan for CAP 2023-2027 on proportion of Cultivated Perennial Grasses in Uppsala : aggregate modelling of farmland allocation in Sweden using Positive Mathematical Programming

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Samuel Bäckelin; [2022]
    Keywords : agriculture; positive mathematical programming; agricultural policy; CAP;

    Abstract : Changes in compensations and subsidies in the new proposed Swedish strategic plan for CAP will alter farmers’ decisions on the allocation of arable land. This study estimates effects on allocation of cultivated perennial grasses as a result of the proposed abolishment of the current environmental compensation for the named crop. READ MORE

  4. 13. The importance of forest forage resources and a landscape perspective, managing bumblebees (Bombus) in Swedish forest-farmland
