1. 16. A sensory evaluation of swidden rye (Secale cereale) – how the taste of history and geographical location can play part in a sustainable food production

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Amanda Jonsson; [2022]
   Keywords : Sustainable Development; Sensory science; Landrace; Terroir; Food system; Consumer science;

   Abstract : Due to their resilience, durability, and broad genetic variations, increasing the production and consumption of landrace cereals has been highlighted as a solution to handle increasing environmental variability resulting from climate change. However, the consumption of landrace cereals remains low due to limited production and purchase availability for consumers. READ MORE
