A few years ago, media reported on a 7 year-old girl who was killed during a riding lesson. The accident evokes questions about children, horses and safety. Children are small and horses big, and the horse is a herd and prey animal whose behaviour is partly controlled by instincts. Today, many riding schools in Sweden and Norway offer riding for pre-school children, despite the fact that riding instructors say that they are 'too young to ride'. Overall, research on pre-school children's sport activities is scant and there is no research focusing horse riding. The aim of the project Too young to ride? is therefore to increase the knowledge of horse and riding education for young children with the objective to develop safer horse environments that take into account the welfare of horses. The project will be analysed using sociology of childhood and 'humanimal' research. The results of the project are relevant for riding schools, instructors and horse industry in Sweden and Norway.
För några år sedan rapporterade media om en sjuårig flicka som förolyckats vid en ridlektion. Olyckan ställer frågor om barn, hästar och säkerhet på sin spets. Barn är små och hästar stora, och hästen är ett flock- och flyktdjur vars beteende delvis styrs av instinkter. Idag erbjuder många ridskolor i Sverige och Norge ridning för förskolebarn, trots att ridlärare upplever att de är 'för små för att rida'. Överlag saknas forskning om yngre barns idrottsutövning och det finns ingen forskning som fokuserar ridsporten. Syftet med projektet Är de för små för att rida? är därför att öka kunskapen om häst- och ridundervisning av yngre barn med avsikt att utveckla säkrare hästmiljöer som tar hänsyn till hästars välfärd. Barndomssociologi och hum-/samforskning om relationen mellan människa och djur används i analysen. Projektets resultat är relevanta för ridskolor, ridlärare och hästnäringen generellt i både Sverige och Norge.

In the proposed project, we will explore the benefits of increasing the longevity of dairy cows under Swedish conditions by changes in herd management. We will focus on effects on methane emissions by modelling, using existing data from the Swedish Official Milk Recording Scheme and results from an …

The sensory attributes of the raw milk are of major importance for the quality of the resulting dairy products. Since the early 90’ies, the so-called “blueberry off-flavour” has caused severe economic consequences for affected dairy farmers. The mechanism behind is still unclear, although forages …

A cornerstone of the Swedish Food Strategy is trust in Swedish food production. Yet each year Swedish farmers and food processors lose both money and trust due to food fraud, especially for non-Swedish meat relabelled as Swedish. Most fraud remains undetected. A recent analytical development, Rapid …

Conventional technology is virtually unable to measure complete GHG budgets of drained organic soils, which may provide misleading results. So, global estimates of GHG emissions are based on coarse assumptions that don’t take into account the complexity of agroecosystems. Better data are needed for …
