  1. 1. Comparative study of albedo and Ndvi. : Based on a vertical Agrivoltaic system and a reference control plot.

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Prasamsa Aryal; [2024]
    Keywords : Agrivoltaics; Albedo; NDVI; Linear correlation; Linear regression;

    Abstract : Agrivoltaic system combines solar energy and agriculture which is an effective way to utilize the lands full potential. Crops can be grown between vertical panels or under tilted panels among other designs. Combining solar panels and agriculture leads to optimization of space. READ MORE

  3. 2. Assessing water balance and yields in Malawian cropping systems : maize soybean and maize Gliricidia systems resilience against climate change

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Danila Valeriano; [2024]
    Keywords : crop modelling; APSIM; Malawi; maize; soybean; Gliricidia; agroforestry; legume intercropping; climate predictions; climate adaptation; SDSM;

    Abstract : In Malawi, maize monocultures are increasingly susceptible to extreme weather patterns, causing considerable yield reduction and heightened food insecurity for smallholder farmers dependent on rainfed subsistence agriculture. Diversifying cropping systems is crucial for ensuring yield resilience. READ MORE

  4. 3. Assessment of Climate Change Impact on Rainfed Barley Production in the Mediterranean Basin : The Almeria province case study

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Francesco Saretto; [2024]
    Keywords : Barley; Rainfed; Climate Change; AquaCrop; AquaCrop-OSPy; Mediterranean; Climate Change Adaptation; Crop Modeling; Agriculture; Irrigation;

    Abstract : The Mediterranean basin is widely recognized as a climate change hotspot, with climate models projecting increasingly warmer and drier conditions that will impact local ecosystems, communities, and economies.

    Abstract : I detta arbete undersöks hotbilden mot de viktigaste pollinatörerna i Sverige, påverkansfaktorer samt vilka handlingsalternativ som finns för privatpersoner med engagemang i frågan. I dagsläget är många viktiga pollinatörer globalt och nationellt hotade, och därmed också de ekosystemtjänster som vi människor drar nytta av dagligen. READ MORE

  6. 5. Shifting focus from yields to food supply : an evaluation of the ‘number of people fed per hectare’ indicator at farm and national level

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Ida Ekqvist; [2024]
    Keywords : Land use efficiency; Sustainability indicators; Agricultural productivity; Food production;

    Abstract : The challenge of feeding a growing global population while reducing the pressure on climate and ecosystems has gained much attention in research over the last decades. A crucial yet often overlooked aspect in research addressing this complex challenge is the efficiency of food production in meeting nutritional needs within the constraints of global cropland resources.
