Climate projections for Sweden indicate higher temperatures during summer and larger variability in precipitation between years. This poses enormous challenges for Swedish agriculture. The main aim of this project is to investigate relationships between soil management, soil quality and crop yield. We will gather 60-70 farmers in Västergötland and Östergötland and i) perform quantitative surveys and interviews to identify perceived risks, adaption measures and knowledge gaps for securing stable crop production in a changing climate, and ii) measure soil quality on 60-70 farm fields and collect long-term data on soil management, yield and weather to quantify relationships between soil management, soil quality, crop productivity and yield stability. Our hypothesis is that good soil quality improves yield stability, and that a more diverse (e.g. diverse crop rotation) and less intense (e.g. low tillage intensity) soil management improves soil quality.
Klimatprojektioner för Sverige visar högre temperaturer under sommaren och större variationer i nederbörd mellan år. Detta kommer att medföra enorma utmaningar för svenskt jordbruk. Projektets huvudsyfte är att belysa samband mellan brukningsmetoder, markkvalité och skörd. För att studera dessa samband samlar vi 60-70 lantbrukare i Västergötland och Östergötland och gör enkätundersökningar och intervjuer för att identifiera risker, åtgärder och kunskapsluckor för att säkra en stabil växtproduktion i ett förändrat klimat, samt mäter markens kvalité på 60-70 fält och samlar in flera års data om brukningsmetoder, skörd och väderlek för att kvantifiera samband mellan brukningsmetoder, markkvalité och skörd (skördenivå och skördestabilitet). Vår hypotes är att en god markkvalité förbättrar skördestabiliteten och att ett mera diversifierat (t.ex. varierad växtföljd) och mindre intensivt (t.ex. mindre jordbearbetning) brukningssystem främjar markens kvalité.

Just going to the bathroom is contributing to algae blooms and climate change. Sweden alone releases roughly 15400 tonnes of N and 240 tonnes of P into lakes, rivers and seas, through municipal wastewater (including after treatment). Urine contains 80% of the plant nutrients found in wastewater and …
