  1. 1. Bearbetningsmetoders påverkan på markorganismers aktivitet i jorden : i perenna odlingar samt i odlingssystem med mellangrödor

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Jenny Olofsson; [2021]
    Keywords : markorganismer; respiration; organiskt material; odlingsmetoder; biologiska processer; kemiska processer och fysikaliska processer; perenna odlingssystem; mellangrödor; klimatförändringar; microbial activity; respiration; organic matter; soil tillage methods; biological processes; chemical processes and physical processes; perennial crops; conservation agriculture; intermediate crops; climate change;

    Abstract : Klimatförändringarna, som både påverkat och påverkar vår planet, kräver att mänskliga aktiviteter förändras till mer resurssnåla och systemeffektiva processer. I dessa processer bör markens bördighet vara det centrala, eftersom en bördig mark kan generera stabila skördar och bidra till en långsiktigt hållbar matförsörjning. READ MORE

  3. 2. Relating the impacts of regenerative farming practices to soil health and carbon sequestration on Gotland, Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Laerke Daverkosen; Alena Holzknecht; [2021]
    Keywords : regenerative agriculture; soil health; carbon sequestration; Gotland Sweden ;

    Abstract : Land degradation, greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss through agriculture are some of the greatest challenges we are facing today. Fertile and productive soils are the basis of life on this planet and need to be protected and restored to support a growing population and lower negative impacts of climate change. READ MORE

  4. 3. Multifunktionella möjligheter för matlandskap

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Hanna Clausen; [2021]
    Keywords : matproduktion; matlandskap; multifunktionell markanvändning; urban agrikultur; hållbar samhällsutveckling; stadsjordbruk; självförsörjning;

    Abstract : Den globala livsmedelsproduktionen har stora negativa effekter för världens klimat och biologiska mångfald. En omställning av vår matproduktion är grundläggande för att förhindra fortsatt global miljöförstöring. I denna uppsats undersöks möjligheter till att i en högre grad integrera matproduktion i dagens landskapsplanering. READ MORE

  5. 4. Remote sensing-based land cover classification and change detection using Sentinel-2 data and Random Forest : A case study of Rusinga Island, Kenya

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tema Miljöförändring

    Author : Malena Hesping; [2020]
    Keywords : Land cover classification; post-classification change detection; Random Forest; remote sensing; Sentinel-2;

    Abstract : Healthy forests and soils are crucial for the very existence of mankind as they provide food, clean water and air, shade and protection against floods and storms. With their photosynthetic carbon storage ability, they mitigate climate change and fertilise and stabilise soils. READ MORE

  6. 5. Feeding the 45 million : substituting soybean protein with insect protein within EU poultry and egg production

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Douglas Hunter; [2019]
    Keywords : insects; insect production; livestock feed; entomophagy; land use; futures research; food security; energy security; black soldier fly; mealworm; house cricket; sustainable development;

    Abstract : A global population increasing both in number and in resource consumption per capita has resulted in food, livestock feed and energy crop demands that are increasingly difficult to meet on rapidly degrading soils within a diminishing available area of arable land. With further expansion of agricultural land infeasible and yield increases through further intensification insufficient to meet the scale of predicted crop demand, the use of insects as an animal feed has gained traction as a method of not only reducing competition for arable land, but also some of the detrimental environmental consequences of livestock and conventional feed production.
